The Audio-Technica AT2010 Cardioid Condenser Handheld Microphone is specially designed for close-up vocal use in professional live-sound and studio applications. The cardioid polar pattern of this microphone is sensitive to sound coming directly from the front of the element, making it perfect for controlling feedback. This helps to provide isolation between performers by reducing the pickup of unwanted sounds. Designed for consistency, reliability, and professional performance, this Audio-Technica microphone is enclosed in rugged, all-metal housing for trouble-free service. It showcases a multi-stage grille design for protection against sibilance and plosives without affecting high-frequency clarity. The supplied AT8470 Quiet-Flex stand clamp provides silent, flexible microphone positioning. It requires 48V phantom power for operation.
