Audio-Technica ATM230 - Hypercardioid Dynamic Instrument Microphone

The Audio-Technica ATM230 is a compact hypercardioid dynamic microphone from the Artist Series, built for close-miking drums and percussion on stage and in the studio. It is tailored for rack and floor toms, snare and other percussion, and its low-profile body fits easily between drums.

The included AT8665 drum mount attaches the microphone directly to the drum rim, and the all-metal housing is made for the knocks of live use. Output is balanced low impedance on an integral XLR connector.

• Hypercardioid polar pattern reduces pickup from the sides and rear for better isolation
• Handles very high sound pressure levels at close range
• Full, warm low-frequency response with strong attack
• Low-profile body for flexible placement around the drum kit
• Included AT8665 drum mount clamps to the drum rim
• Rugged all-metal construction
