The Audio-Technica AT312 EP is a high-performance condenser microphone designed specifically for close-miking of percussion instruments such as snare drums, tom-toms, and cymbals. Its XY-pattern capsule has a wide pickup area, making it ideal for capturing both the shell and head sounds of percussion instruments accurately and realistically. The microphone's custom-engineered diaphragms provide excellent transient response, delivering clear, detailed, and natural sound reproduction even at high sound pressure levels. The AT312 EP comes equipped with switchable 8 dB pad and bass-cut filter for handling extremely high sound pressure levels, as well as close miking of bass drums. Its rugged design and versatility make this microphone an excellent choice for live and studio applications where precise percussion recording is required.
