Audio-Technica ATM250DE Dual-Element Instrument Microphone
Overview:
Audio-Technica's proven dual-element design features two elements (condenser and dynamic) enclosed in a single housing
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
Perfect for kick drum, guitar amps, percussion and other instruments
Integral 80 Hz HPF switch and 10 dB pad (condenser element)
Versatile mounting options and effective dampening of mechanical noise thanks to included AT8471 isolation clamp
Corrosion-resistant contacts from gold-plated XLRM-type connector
Rugged, all-metal design and construction for years of trouble-free use
Features:
The ATM250DE has been discontinued. Please see the ATM250 Hypercardioid Dynamic Instrument Microphone or the AE2500 Dual-element Cardioid Instrument Microphone 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.
