help Audio-Technica ATM25 FAQ
What instruments was the Audio-Technica ATM25 designed to record?
Audio-Technica tailored the ATM25 for kick drum, percussion, brass, and other high-volume sources. Its strong low-frequency response also made it popular on floor toms and bass cabinets.
Does the ATM25 need phantom power?
No. It is a moving-coil dynamic microphone, so it does not require 48-volt phantom power to operate, although phantom power normally causes no problem when used with a properly wired balanced connection.
What polar pattern does the ATM25 use?
The ATM25 uses a hypercardioid pattern designed to isolate the source and resist feedback. Placement still matters because hypercardioid microphones retain a small area of sensitivity directly behind the capsule.
What is the difference between the ATM25 and ATM250?
The ATM250 is a later Audio-Technica instrument microphone with a similar kick-drum and percussion role, but it is not simply a renamed ATM25. The original ATM25 became a sought-after discontinued model and briefly returned as the silver ATM25/LE for Audio-Technica's 50th anniversary.
