The Audio‑Technica MB2k is a rugged, high-output handheld / stand dynamic microphone optimized for instruments and amplified sources — perfect for miking guitar cabinets, snare drums, acoustic or electric instruments, and other stage‑ready applications. Its hypercardioid pickup pattern provides strong off-axis rejection and feedback control, helping isolate the desired sound source even in loud stage or rehearsal environments. Thanks to its Hi‑ENERGY® neodymium magnet design, the MB2k delivers a powerful signal with fast transient response, making it easier to capture punchy instrument tones with clarity and presence. The all‑metal build, soft‑touch finish (to reduce handling noise), and a corrosion‑resistant gold‑plated XLR connector make it a durable, live‑ready mic — ideal for gigging musicians, live performances, rehearsals, or live PA setups.
