Full, punchy toms with little or no EQ. The Avantone Pro ATOM is a 2nd-generation cardioid dynamic microphone for rack and floor toms. Avantone tunes it to bring out the midrange “voice” of the drum kit, in the studio or on the road.
Why customers choose it
- Tuned for toms: bold voicing that Avantone says often needs no EQ.
- Wide range: 30 Hz – 15 kHz response for floor toms as well as rack toms.
- Handles loud drums: 145 dB maximum SPL.
- Built for the road: die-cast housing and interwoven brass/steel grille – no plastic parts to break or wear out.
- Mic stays put: two precision-machined inserts on the body lock into the shock mount, so the mic stays on the sweet spot however hard the drum is hit.
- Mounts included: comes with the SSM shock mount and PK1 Pro Klamp rim mount.
Who it is for
