The Audio-Technica ATM350PL Piano Condenser Microphone System is a cardioid condenser instrument microphone that includes a universal clip-on mounting system, a 9-inch gooseneck, and an AT8491P magnetic piano mount.
The Audio-Technica ATM350PL Piano Condenser Microphone System provides a specialized solution for capturing piano performances with clarity and precision. This system centers on the ATM350a cardioid condenser microphone, which handles high sound pressure levels (SPL) while delivering a clear, well-balanced response for any instrument.
The ATM350a features a low-profile design to minimize visibility during live performances or recordings. Its cardioid polar pattern focuses on the intended sound source by reducing audio pickup from the sides and rear. This directional characteristic improves isolation and minimizes feedback in complex acoustic environments. For added versatility, the system supports interchangeable microphone elements to accommodate hypercardioid and omnidirectional polar patterns.
The system includes the AT8491P magnetic piano mount, which attaches securely to the metal frame or other metallic components of a piano. This mounting solution provides excellent shock resistance to protect the microphone from mechanical vibrations and impact noise. The AT8490L 9-inch gooseneck offers a rugged yet flexible structure that rigidly maintains its shape. This ensures the microphone remains accurately positioned even during aggressive play.
An in-line power module manages the audio signal and includes a switchable 80 Hz high-pass filter. This filter allows users to attenuate low-frequency ambient noise and unwanted room rumble, resulting in a cleaner output. The system is built for durability and professional use across various musical settings.
While optimized for pianos, the system includes an AT8468 violin mount with a hook-and-loop fastener to provide additional mounting options for stringed instruments. A protective carrying case is also included to ensure the microphone and mounting components remain safe during transport and storage.
