Audio-Technica ATM230 Hypercardioid Dynamic Instrument Microphone

Introducing the ATM230 Hypercardioid Dynamic Instrument Mic
Meet the Audio-Technica ATM230, a compact microphone tailored specifically for high-volume settings like live performances and studio sessions involving drums. This instrument microphone features a proprietary capsule that thrives in high SPL (sound pressure level) environments, capturing full, robust audio with an impressive low-end. The ATM230’s hypercardioid polar pattern ensures that the focus remains on the source of the sound, minimizing interference from side and rear noises.

Optimized for Drums and Percussion
Specially crafted for capturing the dynamic range of drums, the ATM230 excels when placed near toms, snares, and other percussion instruments. Its low-profile design is not just about aesthetics; it allows for strategic placement around the drum set, ensuring that each strike and subtle nuance is captured with clarity and depth.

Built to Last
Durability is a key feature of the ATM230, which boasts a rugged all-metal construction designed to withstand the demands of both live and studio applications. Whether it’s touring with a band or being a staple in a recording studio, this mic is built to perform reliably under the toughest conditions.

Precision Audio Capture
With its ability to handle extremely high SPLs at close range, the ATM230 is perfect for miking instruments that produce intense sound pressure levels. This capability allows the microphone to deliver a big, warm low-frequency response with excellent attack, preserving the true sound of your drums and percussion without distortion or loss of detail.

Everything You Need in One Package
The ATM230 comes complete with practical accessories to enhance your recording experience. Included in the package are an AT8665 drum mount for easy attachment to drum rims, and a soft protective pouch for safe storage and transport, ensuring your mic is protected at all times.
