Description
The ATM650 is part of Audio-Technica’s Artist Series, purpose-built for players and engineers who need a mic that can be planted inches from a loud, transient-heavy source and still deliver clean, usable sound. Its flat, multi-stage grille is shaped specifically so you can tuck it in tight against a snare rim or guitar cabinet without the housing blocking your placement options.
Inside, a Hi-ENERGY neodymium magnet drives higher output and quicker transient response, which matters when you’re capturing the snap of a snare hit or the attack of a picked guitar riff. The hypercardioid pattern pulls in sound from directly in front while rejecting off-axis noise from the sides and rear, so bleed from other instruments on a crowded stage or in a live room stays under control.
Audio-Technica’s dual-wall floating construction physically isolates the capsule from the mic body, cutting down on handling and stand-transmitted noise while keeping performance consistent unit to unit — a real plus if you’re running several ATM650s across a drum kit or amp lineup. The whole thing is wrapped in an all-metal shell designed to survive life on the road, with a gold-plated XLRM connector that resists corrosion over years of use.
