Audio-Technica ATM250 Hypercardioid Dynamic Instrument Microphone

The ATM250 is a dynamic microphone with a hypercardioid polar pattern. It is designed specifically for musical instrument pickup in the studio and on stage. The hypercardioid polar pattern of the microphone 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 output of the microphone is a 3-pin XLRM-type connector.

The microphone is enclosed in a rugged housing. The included AT8471 isolation clamp permits mounting on any microphone stand with 5/8"-27 threads. A soft protective pouch is also included.
