Audio-Technica ATM650 Hypercardioid Dynamic Instrument Microphone

The ATM650 uses a new multi-stage flat grille that lets it sit as close as possible to the sound source, a design suited to guitar cabinets, snare drums, and other percussion where placement precision matters. A neodymium magnet delivers high output, and the frequency response is voiced specifically for clear reproduction of those close-miked sources rather than a general-purpose vocal sound.

Audio-Technica's dual-wall floating construction reduces handling noise and keeps performance consistent from one ATM650 to the next, which matters when miking a full kit across several channels. Rugged, all-metal construction and gold-plated XLRM-type contacts are built for years of touring and studio use.
