Audio-Technica ATM710

Yes, as a condenser microphone, the ATM710 requires 11-52V DC phantom power from your mixer or audio interface to function.

It is designed for controlled stage environments. While it handles high sound pressure levels up to 148 dB, its cardioid pattern is best suited for stages where you can manage monitor volume to prevent feedback.

The high-pass filter cuts out low-frequency rumble, such as stage vibrations or handling noise, helping to keep your vocal mix clean and clear.

Because it is a condenser microphone, the ATM710 offers a more detailed, nuanced high-frequency response than most dynamic handheld mics, making it excellent for capturing the subtle textures of a vocal performance.

No, the ATM710 features superior anti-shock engineering specifically designed to minimize the mechanical noise that travels through the handle when you move or adjust your grip.

While it is optimized for vocals, the ATM710's high SPL handling and detailed frequency response make it a capable choice for capturing acoustic instruments like guitar cabinets or percussion in a live setting.
