Audio-Technica ATM250 - Hypercardioid Dynamic Instrument Microphone

Overview

The Audio - Technica ATM250 Hypercardioid Dynamic Instrument Microphone is a versatile and durable microphone tailored for capturing high SPLs from kick drums, percussion, brass, and other highly dynamic instruments. Its rich, warm low - frequency response ensures excellent presence, while the tight hypercardioid polar pattern reduces pickup of sounds from the sides and rear, improving isolation of the desired sound source. The microphone features a rare earth neodymium magnet, superior off - axis rejection, and corrosion - resistant contacts for maximum gain before feedback and years of trouble - free use.
