Overview
Designed for professional live and studio use, the ATM355VF compact clip-on cardioid condenser makes it easy to accurately capture sounds from string, woodwind, and other instruments. This high-sensitivity microphone delivers clear, balanced sound from both low and high SPL sources – perfect for capturing all the subtleties and dynamics in a musical performance.
Features
- Compact condenser for use with violins, violas, flutes, and other instruments
- High-sensitivity microphone for clear, balanced sound up to 148.5 dB SPL
- Cardioid polar pattern reduces pickup of sounds from the sides and rear, improving isolation of desired sound source
- Flexible, lightweight gooseneck keeps microphone ideally positioned even during lively performances
- AT8543 in-line power module is equipped with a switchable 80 Hz high-pass filter to reduce unwanted low-frequency sound (wired model only)
- Interchangeable elements available for hypercardioid and omnidirectional polar patterns
- Includes an AT8491V clip-type violin mount and an AT8491F flute mount for safe, easy connection to string and woodwind instruments
