Audio Technica ATM250DE Dual-element Instrument Microphone
Product Code: ATM250DE
Features
• Proven dual-element design features two elements
• Dynamic element with rare-earth magnet provides punch and attack
• Condenser element captures the full audio spectrum
• Perfect for kick drum, guitar amps and instrument use
• Integral 80 Hz HPF switch and 10 dB pad
• Rugged, all-metal design and construction
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. |
