The Audio-Technica PRO 25AX is a dynamic microphone that is designed to capture sound from bass cabinets, kick drums, percussion and other highly dynamic instruments. With a hypercardiod polar pattern, the mic isolates background sounds produced from different directions that may be caused by adjacent instruments, HVAC systems, and other devices. You can rely on this mic for superb sonic quality, delivering a warm low-frequency response and with high SPL capability, it reproduces high amplitude sound of short duration without distortion. The hypercardioid pattern also reduces leaks from signal sources emanating from nearby monitors or speakers. An isolation clamp facilitates secure mounting of the PRO 25AX.
