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.

Dynamic

Dynamic microphones are robust, reliable microphones designed to handle high sound pressure levels and demanding environments. They are commonly used for live vocals, guitar amplifiers, drums, and broadcast, where durability and controlled sound are important. Dynamic microphones do not require phantom power and perform well in loud settings.

Hypercardioid

Hypercardioid microphones use a very tight pickup pattern that focuses strongly on sound from the front while rejecting most noise from the sides. Compared to cardioid microphones, they provide greater isolation, making them useful in situations where background noise or nearby sound sources need to be controlled.

Because of their focused sensitivity, hypercardioid mics are often used for live sound, stage vocals, drum miking and dialogue recording. They do have a small pickup area at the rear, so careful positioning is important, but when used correctly they deliver excellent clarity and separation in demanding environments.
