Audio Technica Cardioid Condenser and Hypercardiod instrument mic ATM250DE

AUDIOTECHNICA ATM250DE Details

The Artist Series new kick-drum mic, the ATM250DE dual-element instrument microphone features cardioid condenser and hypercardioid dynamic capsules combined in a single housing. Audio-Technica’s innovative use of two polar patterns is ideal for kick drum: the hypercardioid dynamic element focuses tightly on the aggressive attack of the beater, while the condenser captures the round tonalities of the shell. The elements are positioned in a perfect phase relationship, something practically impossible to achieve with two separate microphones. Includes a professional isolation clamp to provide secure mounting, versatile positioning and effective dampening of unwanted mechanical noise.

Neodymium dynamic element provides punch and attack, while the condenser element captures the full audio spectrum

Elements are positioned in a perfect phase relationship, something practically unachievable with two separate microphones
