Tuned for clear, detailed, extended-range reproduction of lead and backup vocals, the ATM610 Hypercardioid dynamic vocal mic is equipped with a rare earth neodymium magnet, a tight hypercardioid polar pattern and multi-stage grille design. The Audio Technica microphone features an innovative dual-wall floating construction; the back-cavity assembly "floats" inside the handle shell, providing outstanding isolation from handling noise. Hypercardioid polar pattern reduces pickup of sounds from the sides and rear, improving isolation of desired sound source.
