3 reviews Questions about the Audio-Technica ATM230 Hypercardioid Dynamic Drum. This Mic Can Handle Whatever You Throw At It Whether you use it on a tom snare or other percussion instrument the super-rugged Audio-Technica ATM230 hypercardioid dynamic drum microphone takes high SPLs like a champ. With a low-profile design and rugged metal construction the ATM230 excels in high-SPL applications including the miking of rack and floor toms snare drum and other percussion instrument.
The mics proprietary capsule is designed to excel in high SPL applications delivering full well-rounded audio with an exceptional low-end.
The bleed is minimal and very musical due to the hypercardioid pattern. During a drum record. We just got done testing the Audio-Technica ATM230 against the Shure SM57 and Sennheiser MD421 MKII since the latter two are great points of reference and used often on toms. And after using it Im adding snare to the list of other recommended uses.
