The ATM250 is a hypercardioid dynamic microphone renowned for its exceptional performance in capturing high sound pressure levels (SPLs) at close range. Primarily designed for kick drums, percussion instruments, brass instruments, and other highly dynamic sound sources, the ATM250 boasts a rich, warm low-frequency response with excellent presence. Its tight hypercardioid polar pattern minimizes pickup of sounds from the sides and rear, enhancing isolation of the desired sound source. Built with durability and reliability in mind, the ATM250 features a rugged, all-metal design suitable for professional applications.
