The ATM250DE is a dual-element instrument microphone combining cardioid condenser and hypercardioid dynamic capsules in a single housing. Primarily designed for kick drum, the hypercardioid dynamic element captures the attack of the beater whilst the condenser captures the round tonalities of the shell, with both elements positioned in a perfect phase relationship impossible to achieve with two separate microphones.
