This cardioid dynamic workhorse is designed for smooth, natural vocal reproduction and low noise. Equipped with a neodymium magnet for high output, and a multi-stage grille design for excellent protection against plosives, this super-durable microphone is built to stand up to life on the road. Its cardioid polar pattern reduces pickup of sounds from the sides and rear, maximizing isolation from other sound sources and minimizing feedback.
The ATM410 is absolutely true and smooth from low alto through soprano. Other mics are too bright for my trained voice, creating tinny mid-to-upper treble sound.
I also love the ergonomics. It's lighter and shorter than all the others I tried, but it's not 'less' in any other way. I'm ecstatic!
Audio-Tech Support recommended this perfect mic for my voice and the Bose L1 Compact system I use.
Audio-Technica's high-performance AE4100 cardioid dynamic vocal microphone delivers aggressive sound that stays up-front in the mix. Optimized for the stage, the microphone features superior anti-shock engineering for minimum handling noise. Its rugged construction is engineered to stand up to the rigors of touring. For ultimate protection against vocal plosives, the mic's hardened-steel outer grille is lined with fine steel mesh and a layer of open-cell foam. A foam disk positioned on top of the element assembly provides the final layer of "pop" protection.
