Audio-Technica Artist Series Drum Microphone Set (4-Piece)

This Audio-Technica Artist Series Drum Microphone Set provides four microphones suitable for the recording of drums. For your kick, use the ATM250, a dynamic, hypercardioid mic with low-end emphasis that flatters bass drums. The dynamic ATM650 with its hypercardioid polar pattern will work for your snare. The two ATM450 microphones, with their high-pass filter switch at 80 Hz, are cardioid condenser microphones that can work as your overheads. Both mics boast an SPL of 152 dB. A carrying case is included, as are mounting accessories.

The Audio-Technica ATM250 is a dynamic microphone with a hypercardioid pick up pattern. The sensitivity is custom tailored to withstand high-sound pressure, ideal for capturing kick drum, brass, percussion, bass cabinets and other high-sound pressure sources. The neodymium magnet and output stage results in high gain and very low noise floor. The hypercardioid polar pattern delivers maximum off-axis signal and feedback rejection. The ATM250 includes a professional isolation clamp to provide secure mounting, versatile positioning and effective dampening of unwanted mechanical noise.

The Audio-Technica ATM650 is a hypercardioid dynamic microphone designed for vocal or general instrument pickup. The rugged design of the ATM650 allows for a long term performance under the most adverse conditions. The ATM650 features a hypercardioid polar pattern for optimum rejection of off-axis noise and feedback. The wide frequency response is tailored for smooth, natural sound reproduction. The ATM650 is a workhorse solution for stage performances.

The ATM450 Cardioid Condenser Instrument Microphone from Audio-Technica is designed with a side-address capsule, allowing for easy placement and flexible positioning on percussion, guitar cabinets, piano, and similar applications. The cardioid polar pattern is effective in reducing off-axis noise and feedback, and the wide frequency response results in rich, natural detail. There is a low frequency roll-off switch for reducing low frequency ambiance and noise and a -10 dB Pad switch for providing additional headroom and minimizing noise caused by transient peaks. The package includes an isolation clamp, an adapter, a windscreen, and a soft protective pouch.
