Audio Technica ATM 610

[Mr Blues]

When I was looking at this forum yesterday I was originally inspired to get a Beta SM58 but then I read someone"s entry about this microphone
saying how good it was.
I went to the PA Centre today and I wanted something which was better then the SM 58 so I spoke to the guy that was serving me . He has lots of experiance in sound engineering and he was raving about this mic.

He introduced me to this ATM610 Hypercardiod dynamic vocal microphone .

He let me test this mic with the Beta SM58 and the Shure SM58 and although the beta was great and clear this one was suprisingly warm as well as clear.

I used it for the first time today at a gig and it blew me away , I really enjoyed the natural sound and some of my musician freinds noticed the differance .

I am well glad that I brought this.
These are fairly new mics and they are the Audio Technica artist series mics.

Here's a dirct link to a pro audio website that has some info:

Then scroll down to live sound microphones.

There is not that much info on the web as these are fairly new , apparently they came out a month ago.

Although I am well pleased with The ATM 610 .
Well today I finally picked up the Audio Technica ATM 710 and wow! what another winner. this is a very powerful sensitive mic , and the great thing is that it picks up every detail in your voice , even the tiny nuances, the whispers and promixy effect is great .Folks who know how to use mic techniques will find this a real treat.

Apparently these mics are also good on accoustic guitars.
I am going to use both the 610 and the 710 to stereo mic my guitars when I record on my digital 8 track.

Its like having a studio quality mic when singing live.

For £128 its a great price for the quality.

I got it from the London PA Centre and the staff there were really helpful.

They have been going like hot cakes , I was blessed enough to get the last one before they order some more.
