The ATM230 is ideal for drums & percussion - especially kick drum or other low frequency sound sources. The hypercardioid polar pattern is ideal for focussing the capture area, and the proprietary capsule excels in recording low-frequencies with exceptional warmth and transparency. With it’s tough metal construction and included travel-pouch and mount, the ATM230 is equally useful live and in the studio.
