This design is perfect for discreet positioning above drum kits, within piano interiors, or alongside acoustic guitars, making it a favorite for both studio recordings and live performances.

Engineered for Exceptional Sound Quality
Experience uncompromising sound quality with the ATM450, ideal for capturing overheads, percussion, acoustic guitars, and strings. Its extended flat frequency response handles high SPLs gracefully, ensuring that loud sound sources are captured with clarity and precision. Whether you're recording in a studio or amplifying live instruments, this microphone delivers top-tier audio performance.

Built-in Controls for Tailored Audio Output
The ATM450 is equipped with an integral 80 Hz high-pass filter and a switchable 10 dB pad, enabling easy adaptation from a flat response to a low-end roll-off, depending on your recording needs. This versatility allows for higher SPL capability and varied use across a wide range of performers and system configurations.

Isolation and Clarity in Any Setting
Thanks to its cardioid polar pattern, the ATM450 effectively reduces pickup of sounds from the sides and rear, enhancing isolation of your desired sound source. This feature is crucial in multi-instrument environments and ensures that your recordings are free from unwanted ambient noise.

Durable and Reliable for Professional Use
With its rugged, all-metal design and construction, the ATM450 is built to withstand the demands of continuous professional use. Included with the microphone is a professional isolation clamp, which provides secure mounting, versatile positioning, and effective dampening of mechanical noise, making it an invaluable addition to any serious audio toolkit.
