Audio-Technica Chosen For
Pope Francis Visit
P

ope Francis visited the Festival of
Families on the Benjamin Franklin
Parkway in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
during his recent tour of the Americas.
Chosen to capture the Pontiff's audio
was an Audio-Technica AE6100 Artist
Elite hypercardioid dynamic handheld
microphone, custom-painted white
by Audio-Technica especially for the
occasion.
The Artist Elite AE6100 hypercardioid
dynamic vocal microphone delivers
clean articulation, fast transients and

high-output, assertive sound.
With a polar pattern tailored for
outstanding on-axis response, the
microphone offers maximum feedback
rejection and superior anti-shock
engineering for low handling noise.
For ultimate protection against vocal
plosives, the mic's hardened-steel
outer grille is lined with fine steel
mesh and a layer of open-cell foam.
A foam disk positioned on top of the
element assembly provides the final
layer of 'pop' protection.
