Dual element Bass Drum mic
Features two elements (condenser and dynamic)
Perfect for kick drum, guitar amps and instrument use
Requires 2 mic leads (condenser element requires Phantom Power) Dual element Bass Drum mic

The Artist Series new kick-drum mic, the ATM250DE dual-element instrument microphone features cardioid condenser and hypercardioid dynamic capsules combined in a single housing. Audio-Technica's innovative use of two polar patterns is ideal for kick drum: the hypercardioid dynamic element focuses tightly on the aggressive attack of the beater, while the condenser captures the round tonalities of the shell. The elements are positioned in a perfect phase relationship, something practically impossible to achieve with two separate microphones. Includes a professional isolation clamp to provide secure mounting, versatile positioning and effective dampening of unwanted mechanical noise.

DM Music says
"We love this mic - a great idea and a very versatile piece of kit that really does what it sets out to do! Great for that fat bottom end and click attack for bass drums, especially for double pedalling - Metallica love 'em for just that reason! Just don't forget you need 2 mic cables for this dual mic!"
