Audio-Technica's ATM230 hypercardioid instrument microphone represents a significant addition to the acclaimed Artist Series, specifically engineered for demanding percussion applications. This compact drum microphone features a proprietary capsule that excels in high sound pressure level environments, producing full-bodied audio with remarkable low-frequency response.

These characteristics make the ATM230 particularly well-suited for capturing toms, snare drums, and other percussion instruments with exceptional clarity and definition.
