The Audio-Technica cardioid condenser clip-on microphone is low-profile for minimum visibility and a crisp, well-balanced response, even at high SPLs. A cardioid polar pattern reduces pickup of sounds from the sides and rear, improving the isolation of your desired sound source. A rugged UniMount gooseneck firmly holds is shape and keeps the mic positioned right where you want it, even during an aggressive playing session. An in-line power module is equipped with a switchable 80Hz high-pass filter to control undesired ambient noise. An included violin mount with hook-and-loop fastener provides an additional mounting option.
