($1,250)
Released to commemorate the company’s 10th anniversary — thus the AE call letters — this fixed cardioid pattern mic has the same guts as Brauner’s Phantom C, but comes with a black and gold finish, a signed certificate of authenticity, a dozen roses and dinner, and a matching shockmount and aluminum case. Designed for vocals, spot instrument apps, and lovers of all ages.
