Know before you buy
The AT8490L is specifically engineered for the Audio-Technica ATM350 microphone system. While it may physically fit other microphones with similar mounting diameters, it is optimized for the weight and connection style of the ATM350 series.
The 9-inch length offers significant reach, allowing you to position the microphone precisely over instruments like accordions or brass without the mount getting in the way of your playing. It is long enough to provide versatile angles but rigid enough to hold its position once set.
Yes, the AT8490L is constructed from durable metal designed to maintain its shape under the weight of the ATM350 microphone. It is built to withstand the rigors of live performance without sagging or drifting.
The attachment mechanism is designed for quick and simple installation and removal. This makes it a practical choice for musicians who need to move their microphone setup between instruments or pack down quickly after a set.
While the AT8490L is primarily designed for instrument mounting, it is compatible with standard mounting hardware. However, it is intended to be used as an extension for the ATM350 rather than a standalone desktop boom arm.
