With a low-profile design and rugged metal construction, the ATM230 excels in high-SPL applications, including the miking of rack and floor toms, snare drum and other percussion instruments

Audio-Technica, a leading innovator in transducer technology for over 50 years, introduces the ATM230 Hypercardioid Dynamic Instrument Microphone. The ATM230 brings a model ideal for capturing drums and percussion to Audio-Technica’s popular Artist Series line. 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
