Hypercardioid Polar Pattern

The ATM230 features a hypercardioid polar pattern that effectively reduces the pickup of sounds from the sides and rear. This design enhances isolation, allowing the microphone to focus on the desired sound source, making it ideal for drums and percussion instruments.

High SPL Handling

This microphone excels in high sound pressure level (SPL) applications, effortlessly capturing loud sources without distortion. It maintains clarity and definition even at close range, ensuring that your performance remains dynamic and powerful.

Warm Low-Frequency Response

The ATM230 delivers a rich, warm low-frequency response, contributing to a full-bodied sound that enhances the natural tone of drums. This characteristic provides an excellent attack, making it perfect for capturing the punch of toms and snares.

Low-Profile Design

Its low-profile design allows for versatile placement around the drum kit. This feature facilitates easy positioning, whether you’re miking toms, snares, or other percussion instruments, ensuring that you can achieve the best sound possible.

Rugged Construction

Built to withstand the rigors of both live performances and studio use, the ATM230 boasts a rugged all-metal construction. This durability ensures that it can handle the demands of frequent use while maintaining its performance integrity.

Included Accessories

The microphone comes with an AT8665 drum mount, providing stable and secure placement. Additionally, a protective pouch is included for safe transportation and storage, making it a practical choice for musicians on the go.
