New instrument mics from Audio-Technica
Audio-Technica has announced new systems featuring the ATM350a Cardioid Condenser Instrument Microphone. They include the AT8491S surface mount or the AT8491G guitar mount. Each new mount is being offered in three ways: full system (ATM350a mic, mount and gooseneck), mount only, and bundle with the mount and gooseneck only.
A-T says: ‘Offering crisp, clear, well-balanced response even in very high SPL applications, the ATM350a Cardioid Condenser Instrument Microphone provides discreet, rock-solid mounting solutions for a host of instruments, including woodwinds, strings, brass, percussion, drums and piano. The ATM350a is capable of handling 159 dB max SPL, allowing the mic to cope with a wide range of extremely powerful, dynamic sound sources. It 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’.
The AT8491S surface mount is designed for accordions and other challenging applications. The notched mount can be attached permanently using the accordion’s grille screw and the included adhesive silicon pad, or it can be attached temporarily using the included 3M Dual Lock pads. A transparent protective film is also included to prevent damage to the instrument’s finish.
The AT8491G guitar mount features a thumbscrew-adjustable clamp with non-marking pads that attaches to guitars and other stringed instruments with body depths of 90-135 mm.
