Audio-Technica ATM650 Hypercardioid Dynamic Instrument Microphone

The ATM650 hypercardioid dynamic microphone is designed specifically for musical instrument pickup in the studio and on stage. The hypercardioid polar pattern is more sensitive to sound originating directly in front of the element, making it useful for controlling feedback and reducing pickup of unwanted sounds.  The ATM650 mic is enclosed in a rugged housing with a multi-stage flat-grille design. The included AT8470 Quiet-Flex™ stand clamp permits mounting on any microphone stand with 5/8" -27 threads.  A soft protecive pouch is also included. 

This versatile addition to the Artist Series features a new multi-stage flat grille design for precise positioning close to the sound source. Equipped with a neodymium magnet for high-output performance, the ATM650 has a frequency response tailored for clear sound reproduction of guitar cabinets, snare and percussion. A-T s innovative dual-wall floating construction banishes handling noise.

The ATM650 instrument mic features:

• Hypercardioid polar pattern reduces pickup of sounds from the sides and rear, improving isolation of desired sound source
• Durable performance for professional applications
• Special dual-wall floating construction reduces handling noise and assures consistent performance from mic to mic
• Hi-ENERGY® neodymium magnet for improved output and transient response
• Multi-stage flat grille design is engineered to enable easy placement as close as possible to sound source
