Meet your new Tom Mic

The Avantone Pro ATOM is a cardioid dynamic microphone designed specifically for toms. If you're looking for huge-sounding drums, the ATOM delivers a big, fat sound with punchy attack and satisfying heft that explodes across your monitors — often without the need for EQ! Its oversized capsule captures all the impact and low-frequency energy of toms and other percussion instruments like congas and djembes, and also works wonders in bass amp cabinets, low brass, and more. Quality runs throughout the Avantone Pro line and is evident in the ATOM's die-cast zinc body and brass/steel grille assembly. Many engineers and drummers are impressed not just by the sound of these microphones; Its elegant Cabernet-red finish, accented with polished nickel trim and a black grille, looks great on stage and in the studio.

So impressive under the hood

It's often the hidden features that make the difference in what you hear, so it's no surprise that the Avantone ATOM is just as impressive under the hood as it is in playback. Nuances such as internal shock mounting in the capsule assembly help prevent the transmission of unwanted noise due to frame-borne vibration. Additionally, machined inserts in the microphone body barrel allow the included SSM shock mount O-rings to securely hold the microphone in place.

SSM bumper mount included

It's refreshing to find microphones in this price range that feature exceptional build quality and performance beyond expectations. When they also ship with high-quality, genuinely useful accessories — that's a good thing. The ATOM comes with Avantone Pro's SSM shock mount, a rugged, precision device crafted from heavy-duty die-cast zinc that effectively decouples the microphone from low-frequency energy transfer while securely holding the microphone. Shock mount O-rings are made using a custom formula of ethylene propylene that provides tremendous resistance to breakage and surface cuts while remaining flexible and effective in hot, dry climates. This material is also immune to ozone and maintains its physical properties even after being stretched. Trust us — you'll appreciate it on your next tour!

Drum rim mount — improved

The SSM shockmount fits with Avantone's PK-1 Pro-Klamp (also included), which securely attaches to the edge of the drum, saving you from a forest of mic stands. While it is designed to withstand the rigors of live performance, the Pro-Klamp is also adept in professional studio situations, where the main concerns of rim mounting—vibration- and sliding-induced noise—are eliminated by three stages of damping material. /rubber decoupling. The Pro-Klamp is built with heavy-duty metal construction for reliability and years of professional use.

And that's not all...

As if that weren't enough, the ATOM comes with a rugged molded and padded case to safely carry and store your microphone, PK-1 Pro-Klamp, and SSM shock mount. All things considered, the Avantone Pro ATOM microphone is a truly amazing-toning—and attractive-looking—mic. To say ATOM is a great value would be a serious understatement. Your customers or fans would never suspect how little they cost! We're sure you'll want several of these beauties.
