This Audio-Technica ATM250DE is a dual-element instrument microphone designed to capture the full impact and detail of kick drums, bass cabinets, percussion, and other low-frequency sound sources. Combining a dynamic capsule for punch and attack with a condenser capsule for clarity and detail, the ATM250DE provides two independent outputs that allow engineers to blend each element for a customized, studio-quality sound.

This microphone has become a favorite for live sound engineers and recording professionals because it eliminates the need for multiple microphones on a single source while offering exceptional flexibility during mixing. Whether you're miking a bass drum for a live performance or recording in the studio, the ATM250DE delivers powerful low-end response, articulate transient detail, and the ability to fine-tune the balance between the dynamic and condenser elements.
