Boasting exceptional high SPL-handling capabilities even at close range and a precise hypercardioid polar pattern this compact dynamic microphone boasts incredible isolation of your desired sound source.

The low-profile design and included AT8665 drum mount allow you to position the microphone anywhere around a drum kit whilst remaining unobtrusive. For high-performance recording of drums and percussion whether youre on stage or in the studio the ATM230 is the ultimate choice for close-miking.
