Audio-Technica ATM250 Hypercardioid Dynamic Instrument Microphone

The Audio-Technica ATM250 Hypercardioid Dynamic Instrument Microphone is a highly specialized microphone tailored for kick drum, percussion, brass, and other highly dynamic instruments. Designed to handle very high SPLs at close range, this microphone offers a rich, warm low-frequency response that ensures your instruments come through with excellent presence and clarity. Featuring a rare earth neodymium magnet and a tight hypercardioid polar pattern, the ATM250 excels in isolating the desired sound source while minimizing pick up from the sides and rear.

Ensuring professional-grade performance, the ATM250 is equipped with a professional isolation clamp for secure mounting and versatile positioning. This also effectively dampens unwanted mechanical noise, making it ideal for both live performances and studio recordings. Its rugged, all-metal construction is built to withstand years of use, while the corrosion-resistant, gold-plated XLRM-type connector ensures reliable connectivity every time.
