ATOM

Common name: Avantone Pro Atom

Production Status: In production

The Avantone ATOM tom microphone incorporates an oversize capsule that captures a huge low end as well as a penetrating attack. The ATOM is custom voiced for a fat, big sound that often requires no EQ. Besides tom applications the ATOM, it also is well suited for djembe, large congas, and bass amp cabinets. The ATOM tom mic is die cast from zinc, with a brass and steel grill assembly. The included SSM shock mount allows for a decoupling of the microphone from unwanted low-frequency transfer and rumble. This feature, coupled with the use of the Pro-Klamps, results in a much tighter, less muddy sound. The O-rings are manufactured using a custom Ethylene Propylene formula that provides enormous resistance to breakage, resistance to surface nicks and remains supple and effective even against dry, hot temperatures. It is resistant to ozone and weathering, which makes it great for use around electronics devices, and maintains its physical properties even in a stretched condition. The included PK-1 Pro-Klamp drum rim mic mount allows for a confident positioning of the mic while inhibiting the transfer of unwanted vibrations up into the mic with three stages of rubber dampening/decoupling material. Includes SSM shock mount, PK-1 rim mic mount and custom-molded padded carrying case.
