Mic a Concert Piano Without a Stand
The Audio-Technica ATM350PL aims to rid recital halls of bulky mic stands one piano at a time. This tiny condenser mic mounts neatly to the metal frame of a concert grand using a finish-safe magnetic mounting system. Its low-distortion, full-range pickup faithfully captures the brilliant harmonics and powerful bass of your instrument — all the way down to E1. And though the ATM350PL is designed for solo use, it's even more impressive in pairs, offering a rich stereo field that can be panned for a lifelike listening experience. A flexible 9" gooseneck helps the ATM350PL find the right balance between bass and treble strings.

A stage condenser for any source
The ATM350 goes where other mics fear to tread — like inside the bell of a screaming trumpet or atop a rock drum kit. Even at high SPLs, this low-profile condenser microphone presents a crisp, quick, balanced sound on brass instruments, woodwinds, piano, drums, and strings. Its cardioid polar pattern reduces pickup from the rear and sides for effective feedback rejection, while its in-line 80Hz highpass filter cleans up stage noise for a cleaner mix.
Magnetic mounting system requires no stand
The ATM350PL's stable microphone mount secures to the metal frame of your piano using powerful neodymium magnets, while a 9" flexible gooseneck helps you find the sweet spot between the bass and treble strings. There's no risk to your piano as a felt surface protects the mount from marring finishes. If you want to create a cleaner look for your stage, Sweetwater recommends capturing your piano performance with the low-profile, high-performance Audio-Technica ATM350PL.
Violin mount and carrying case add value
In addition to the mic and mount, the Audio-Technica ATM350PL includes a hook-and-loop bridge mount for violins, along with a carrying case for protection in transit.
