From Our Research Team:A Great Condenser for a Variety of Sources!One of the new stars of the Artist Series remake, the ATM450 cardioid condenser offers an innovative side-address stick design for endless placement options and minimal obstructions. The microphone is equipped with an integral 80 Hz hi-pass filter that provides easy switching from a flat frequency response to a low-end roll-off. The ATM450 also features a switchable 10 dB pad that lowers the microphone's sensitivity, providing higher SPL capability for flexible use with a wide range of performers and system configurations. The microphone’s extended flat frequency response makes it ideal for high SPLs as well as for live and amplified acoustic instruments. Includes a professional isolation clamp to provide secure mounting, versatile positioning and effective dampening of unwanted mechanical noise.Audio-Technica ATM450 Cardioid Condenser Instrument Microphone Features:

Reviewsbased on 5 reviewsGreat All Around Mic
by Efren from Florida
Originally I just liked the fact that it was a side address mic, the specs were good too. But this mic does bring out really good detail for the price. I've been using these on toms so far and they ... read more [+]sound great. I'm going to try one on a snare. Also, the pad and high pass filters are a plus. close [-]

May 15, 2009 Music Background: Recording Engineer Something i left out

by David Rainville from Charleston, SC
I use a pair for recording in ORTF for orchestra, concert band, and choral ensembles. Being cardioid it lacks the bottom end of an omni, as you would expect, but the complexities of loud passages with... read more [+] full percussion come through with great depth and openness. The form factor lends itself to AB or ORTF stereo. The published response curve does not show up sonically, as these seem spared of the typical harshness in the upper mids and low highs of a small condenser. The size helps with storage and for a low profile during concerts if those things matter. They handle loud transients very well, reminding me of more expensive mics. If I were a drummer, this would be my main road mic for snare and overheads. They are an optimal trade between quality and cost.August 22, 2010 Music Background: amateur performer and recording engineer close [-] Also popular
