Audio-Technica ATM350a Cardioid Condenser Accordion Mic with Surface Mount - 5-Inch

Designed for use with accordions and other instruments that are difficult to mic, the ATM350S UniMount® mounting system gives you the tools to perform with confidence. The system features the ATM350a cardioid condenser microphone, a high-SPL mic that provides a clear, well-balanced response from any instrument. When teamed with the included AT8491S surface mount and strong, flexible AT8490 5" gooseneck, the mic can be securely fastened to an accordion or other instrument with a challenging mounting surface and be positioned where you want it – the mic will stay in place no matter how much you move the instrument as you play.

The microphone’s cardioid polar pattern isolates the instrument by reducing side and rear pickup, and the switchable 80 Hz high-pass filter on the in-line power module helps control undesired low-frequency noise. The system also includes an AT8468 violin mount with hook-and-loop fastener and a protective carrying case.

With its wide variety of mounting systems and capacity for handling extreme SPLs, the ATM350a cardioid condenser microphone provides crisp, clear, well-balanced response from any instrument.
