Cardioid Condenser Vocal Microphone
The Audio-Technica ATM710 is a true condenser handheld microphone built for vocalists, podcasters and voice-over artists who need studio-grade clarity on stage or in the booth. Its cardioid polar pattern focuses on the source while rejecting off-axis sound, making it a reliable choice for live performance and broadcast applications.
Thermals noise and power draw
As a condenser microphone the ATM710 requires external phantom power to operate and produces no audible self-noise or heat during normal use. The integrated 80 Hz high-pass filter reduces low-frequency rumble from handling and plosives while the switchable 10 dB pad prevents distortion when capturing loud sources at close range.
Integral filter and pad accessories
The built-in 80 Hz high-pass filter and 10 dB pad are switched directly on the microphone body so no external hardware or software is needed to tailor the response. These controls let you adapt instantly to different vocal dynamics and stage volumes without adding extra gear to your signal chain.

Questions about this item
How do I engage the 80 Hz high-pass filter on the ATM710 and what mistake should I avoid?
Slide the integral switch to the low-end roll-off position to activate the 80 Hz high-pass filter; the common error is leaving it flat when close-miking, which lets plosives and handling noise through.
Which part of the ATM710 will need replacement first with regular stage use?
The condenser capsule is the component most likely to require replacement over time, as its thin diaphragm can degrade from moisture, dust or physical shock during frequent handheld performances.
At what sound pressure level does the ATM710 start to distort without the pad engaged?
Without the 10 dB pad the ATM710 will reach its distortion threshold at lower SPLs; engaging the pad raises that limit by 10 dB so loud vocals stay clean.
