Audio-Technica is now shipping its new ATM350a Microphone Systems. Offering a well-balanced response even in very high SPL applications, the ATM350a Cardioid Condenser Instrument Microphone comes in six specially designed systems that provide discreet, rock-solid mounting solutions for a host of instruments, including woodwinds, strings, brass, percussion, drums and piano. In addition to these complete microphone systems, the rugged UniMount components and component systems are available separately, without the ATM350a.
Following in the footsteps of the popular ATM350, the ATM350a is capable of handling 159 dB max SPL, a 10 dB increase over its predecessor. This allows the mic to cope with an even greater range of extremely powerful, dynamic sound sources. Like the ATM350, the new mic features a cardioid polar pattern that reduces side and rear pickup and protects against feedback. The mic’s in-line power module incorporates a switchable 80 Hz hi-pass filter to help control undesired ambient noise.
“This is a notable update to one of our successful products,” states Gary Boss, Audio-Technica Marketing Director, Pro Products. “End-user feedback led us to provide additional mounting options and updated performance in the mic itself. This new variety of mounting options makes the ATM350a a versatile tool in the studio and its unprecedented build quality is perfectly suited for the road on a wide range of instruments and applications.”
The six ATM350a Microphone Systems combine the instrument microphone with unique UniMount components, giving sound engineers and musicians plenty of dependable mounting options when working on stage or in the studio. Options include a rugged drum mount, all-new magnetic piano mount, upgraded universal clip-on mount, expandable woodwind mount, and two strong, flexible goosenecks (5” and 9”) that can be attached to any of the mounts.Audio-Technica’s ATM350a Microphone Systems are available for a price range between US$299 for the Universal Clip-on Mounting System with 5” Gooseneck, up to US$349.00 for instrument specific configurations. There is also the ATM350UcW Wireless Cardioid Condenser Instrument Microphone with Universal Clip-on Mounting System (5” Gooseneck), terminated with locking 4-pin connector for use with Audio-Technica’s UniPak body-pack wireless transmitters, available for US$199.00.
