I delayed posting these comments until I had a chance to use it at several concerts, and hear while editing CD's.I was attracted to the ATM450 by it's narrow body and side entry, compared with other condenser - cardioids. My wife is a fiddler, plays lead fiddle in a band for Irish ceili dancers, and sometimes sings. Several other musician styles were in the concert series I recorded.The ATM450 compared, in response, favorably to my others (CAD M37). However it's sensitivity is such that a singer must be at least a foot back from it, or p's are disturbing, and distortion may occur. Over a violin, it lays neatly 4 to 8 inches above the strings, and picks up a full sound.The soft mounting clip helps a bit, but not really well designed for shock absorption.I expect to buy at least one more.

I was looking for a microphone that would work well to pick up the barrel of a clarinet. Studied lots of microphones and pickup patterns, microphone types on line. I decided on this microphone because it has a cardoid pickup pattern, and what seems to be an adequate amount of sensitivity to pick up the barrel of the clarinet from about 4 to 5 inches away from the instrument. I probably could use a little more sensitivity, but am concerned about feedback problems, being in an extrememly lively sound stage situation. I tried it at home with an amplifier and small speaker, but have not given it the acid test, which is on stage. Wish me luck!---------Gary
