Description

Here's what Audio-Technica say about the ATM650:

This versatile microphone from the Artist Series features a flat multi-layer grille for precise positioning close to the sound source. Equipped with a neodymium magnet for high output performance, the ATM650 has a frequency response designed for clear reproduction of the capture of guitar amps, snare and percussion. Finally, it has a special dual-wall floating construction, an innovation that reduces handling noise and assures consistent performance from mic to mic.

Features

  • Tailored response for musical instrument pickup—guitar cabinets, snare and other percussion
  • 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
  • Rare-earth 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
  • Corrosion-resistant contacts from gold-plated XLRM-type connector
  • Rugged, all-metal design and construction for years of trouble-free use

Dynamic Microphones

Dynamic microphones use a moving-coil or related robust capsule design and are often chosen for live sound, broadcast, drums, guitar cabinets, vocals and loud sources. They generally tolerate handling and high sound-pressure levels well, while many need more preamp gain than a sensitive condenser. Compare polar pattern, proximity effect, off-axis behaviour, grille and mounting, plus the available gain and noise performance of the interface or mixer. A dynamic microphone can be a focused close-range tool, but the model’s response and placement determine whether it suits speech, stage or instrument work.
