The Audio-Technica ATM355VF Compact Clip-on Condenser Instrument Microphone provides professional-grade audio capture for string and woodwind instruments during live and studio performances.
The Audio-Technica ATM355VF is a compact clip-on cardioid condenser instrument microphone designed for professional live and studio use. This high-sensitivity microphone captures clear, balanced sound from violins, violas, flutes, and other instruments. It accurately reproduces musical subtleties and dynamics from both low and high SPL sources, supporting sound pressure levels up to 148.5 dB.
The cardioid polar pattern focuses on the intended sound source while reducing the pickup of sounds from the sides and rear. This directional response improves isolation in multi-instrument environments. For expanded versatility, the microphone is compatible with interchangeable elements for hypercardioid and omnidirectional polar patterns.
A flexible, lightweight gooseneck keeps the microphone in the ideal position even during energetic performances. The ATM355VF includes specialized mounting hardware to ensure safe and easy connection to instruments:
The wired model includes the AT8543 in-line power module to manage the audio signal effectively. This module features a switchable 80 Hz high-pass filter. Activating the filter reduces the pickup of unwanted low-frequency noise, resulting in a cleaner output for recording or live reinforcement.
