The AEW-T3300a cardioid condenser wireless handheld transmitter features the Artist Elite AE3300 cardioid capsule based on the classic AT4033 studio microphone created for vocal applications. The element provides a well-tempered polar pattern with outstanding rejection qualities and includes internal shock mounts for low handling noise. An internal capsule 6 dB pad provides additional attenuation for extremely high SPL sources. An integral two-stage pop filter within the rugged steel head case protects against p pops and other breath plosives. All transmitter setup functions are menu-driven via soft-touch controls. To prevent accidental changes, the controls are covered by the transmitter’s handle case when not being used. A dual-color power/mute indicator LED provides visual indication of transmitter status.
