Audio-Technica ATM450 Cardioid Condenser Side Address Instrument Microphone

ATM450 Cardioid Condenser Side Address Instrument Microphone
This excellent microphone is a small diaphragm condenser mic with a side address pencil design, a low end bass filter, and a -10dB pad switch, which is useful for close miking of loud sound sources. The design form factor makes this mic an ideal one for tight placement options, especially keeping out of the way from the performer. The ATM450 is ideal for close drum miking, either as overheads, or on individual parts. With a frequency response from 40Hz to 20kHz, the ATM450 is ideal for high sound pressure levels, and sound pickup from amplified acoustic instruments. It ships with a dedicated mic clip, a windsock, and a protective pouch.

Cardioid Polar Pattern
This polar pattern is ideal for live and studio use of acoustic instruments and drums and percussion. The mic's pick up range is 180 degrees in front of the microphone. The cardioid polar pattern of the microphone is more sensitive to sound originating directly in front of the element, making it useful in controlling feedback, reducing pickup of unwanted sounds and providing isolation between performers. Cardioid mics are used for a very high percentage of microphone applications
