Audio-Technica, who are exhibiting at this year's NAMM,  has introduced the AT2010 cardioid condenser vocal microphone, designed to bring the studio-qualify sound of Audio-Technica's renowned 20 Series to the stage.

Featuring the same 16 mm low-mass diaphragm found in the critically acclaimed AT2020 side-address studio condenser, this rugged handheld offers the performance advantages of a high-quality studio microphone at an estimated street price of $99. Ideal for use in live performance where phantom power is available, the AT2010 excels wherever articulate, crystal-clear vocals are needed. The AT2010 is perfect for solo performances, jazz vocalists, singer/songwriters and house of worship applications.

The AT2010 provides an extended flat frequency response (40-20,000 Hz) with superior transient response resulting in smooth, natural sonic characteristics. The AT2010's fixed cardioid polar pattern allows isolation of the desired sound source thereby reducing pickup of unwanted sounds from the sides and rear. The mic is able to handle extremely high SPLs (136 db) and has a wide dynamic range (113 dB); its multi-stage grille offers excellent protection against plosives and sibilance without compromising high-frequency clarity.

The AT2010 will be available February 2007.  PRE-ORDER NOW! 

Another Audio-Technica release is the ATH-M50 Studio Headphones. Featuring a closed-back design and proprietary 45 mm large-aperture drivers with neodymium magnet systems, the ATH-M50 professional monitor headphones provide superior audio quality with maximum comfort and are ideal for critical listening applications.

Audio-Technica introduces its flagship ATH-M50 professional studio monitor headphones. Embodying the company's latest transducer technology, the ATH-M50 headphones offer the highest level of sonic accuracy in an innovative design engineered to provide maximum comfort for hours of use.
