The Audio-Technica ATM350W Woodwind Instrument Microphone System is a cardioid condenser microphone featuring a five-inch gooseneck and the AT8491W universal clip-on woodwind mounting system.
The Audio-Technica ATM350W Woodwind Instrument Microphone System is a cardioid condenser microphone specifically designed for woodwind instruments. This system provides a clear and well-balanced response across various instruments, even in high-SPL (Sound Pressure Level) environments. The low-profile design ensures minimum visibility during performances while maintaining high-quality audio capture.
The ATM350W features the UniMount mounting system to provide stability and shock resistance. The included AT8491W woodwind mount attaches securely to woodwind instruments via a flexible strap. This design minimizes vibration transfer and ensures the microphone remains fixed to the instrument during use.
The system incorporates the AT8490 5-inch gooseneck, which allows for precise microphone placement. This rugged gooseneck rigidly holds its shape once positioned, preventing the microphone from shifting or flopping even during aggressive movement or play. This stability ensures consistent sound capture throughout a performance.
The cardioid polar pattern of the ATM350a microphone reduces sound pickup from the sides and rear. This directional focus improves the isolation of the intended instrument and minimizes interference from other sound sources. To further refine audio quality, the in-line power module includes a switchable 80 Hz high-pass filter. This filter helps control undesired low-frequency ambient noise and floor vibrations.
Beyond woodwind applications, the system includes an AT8468 violin mount with a hook-and-loop fastener for additional instrument compatibility. The system supports interchangeable microphone elements, allowing users to switch to hypercardioid or omnidirectional polar patterns as needed.
