Up for sale is a used Audio-Technica Snare/Tom Dynamic Instrument Microphone. Audio-Technica is renowned in the pro-audio world for building absolute tanks when it comes to drum miking, and this utility microphone is no exception. Engineered specifically to handle intense, explosive transient hits and incredibly high Sound Pressure Levels (SPL), this capsule captures the sharp, woody crack of a snare or the deep, resonant thud of a rack tom with absolute precision.

Because drum microphones operate in the direct line of fire from stray drumsticks, they are built to take a beating. This is an incredible, cost-effective pickup for an engineer building a budget studio locker, a venue looking for secondary workhorse utility mics, or a touring drummer who needs high-performance tracking without caring about keeping a finish pristine.

• Poor Cosmetic Character: This microphone has lived an honest, active life on a drum rim and wears its history proudly. The exterior all-metal chassis exhibits prominent cosmetic wear, including heavy surface scratches, paint scuffs, finish scraping, and minor cosmetic dings from previous stick strikes. The mesh grille may show standard indentation or discoloration. None of this superficial cosmetic wear affects the pristine electronic tracking or internal acoustic capture.

Key Audio Performance Features

• High SPL Handling Matrix: Engineered to sit directly over high-impact percussion elements without overloading, clipping, or distorting your preamp signal.
• Focused Off-Axis Rejection: Tight directional pickup pattern actively rejects unwanted ambient sound source spill—such as loud nearby stage monitors or harsh cymbal bleed from the ride and hi-hats.
• Low-Profile Structural Blueprint: Compact design makes it incredibly easy to tuck neatly into tight spaces around your drum kit without getting in the way of the drummer's striking paths.
