Audio-Technica has introduced the ATM230 Hypercardioid Dynamic Instrument Microphone, a mic in their Artist Series line that they say is ideal for capturing drums and percussion. A spokesperson told us, "The mic's proprietary capsule is designed to excel in high SPL applications, delivering full, well-rounded audio with an exceptional low-end. The hypercardioid polar pattern reduces pickup of sounds from the sides and rear, improving isolation of desired sound source – directionality that is aided by the mic's low-profile design, which allows it to be placed in a wide variety of setups. ATM230 is ideally suited for miking toms, snare and other percussion instruments."


ATM230 Features:

  • Big, warm low-frequency response with excellent attack
  • Handles very high SPL at close range
  • Rare earth magnet for improved output and transient response
  • Low-profile design permits versatile placement around drum kit
  • Hypercardioid polar pattern reduces pickup of sounds from the sides and rear, improving isolation of desired sound source
  • Rugged, all-metal design and construction for years of trouble-free use
  • ATM230 Specifications:

  • Polar Pattern: Hypercardioid
  • Frequency Response: 20 – 12,000 Hz
