The Best of Both Worlds in a Single Mic! The Artist Series new kick-drum mic, 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. Audio-Technica ATM250DE At-a-Glance: Best of Both Worlds Multiple Mics with Perfect Phase Multi-purpose Best of Both Worlds Many engineers use a dynamic mic inside the kick drum to capture the harmonic content and "thump" of the kick and a condenser back a bit to capture the spectrum of sound coming off the shell and resonant head. The ATM250DE conveniently has both a dynamic mic capsule and a condenser capsule. With the ATM250DE, you can get the classic sound of a dynamic mic in a kick drum with the detail afforded by a quality condenser - in a single mic. Multiple Mics with Perfect Phase Of course, good engineers know that pointing numerous mics at a single source sound is a great way to get huge sounds, but it can often introduce phase issues, resulting in thin sounds. And if there's ever a place that you don't want thin, it's on a kick drum. With the ATM250DE, Audio-Technica has placed the capsules in perfect phase relationship, a feat they claim is practically unachievable with two microphones. Multi-purpose The ATM250DE isn't just for kick drums. Use it anywhere you want a huge sound. Beef up your guitar tracks, add clarity to bass tracks without losing the low frequency content. You could even use it for vocals. If you can mic it, the ATM250DE will capture it twice with stunning clarity. The included cable preserves the integrity of the signal from both capsules, allowing you to put them on separate tracks for mixing.

A new mic is in town.. this thing is amazing. I gigged last weekend and my sound was amazing.. i used both the outputs of the mic condenser and cardiod and mixed them on the board. I had the crowd on their feet all night and my band was blown away... I am telling you.. don't think.. just buy it now.” • Click Here to Read More Customer Reviews • Write Your Own Review More Dynamic Microphones from Audio-Technica: · Audio-Technica AE2500 · Audio-Technica Artist Series ATM650 · Audio-Technica Artist Series ATM250 View All Products from Audio-Technica  Tell a Friend About the Artist Series ATM250DE!  Print This Page See Also:  Dynamic Mics
