Audio Technica AT897 ENG Shotgun Mic

Description

Audio-Technica’s AT897 is designed for field audio acquisition in film/TV/video production, professional recording, wildlife recording, and broadcast applications. It mounts conveniently on a DV camcorder without adding noticeable heft and remains out of the frame even with compact digital cameras. This high-performance short shotgun offers outstanding long-distance audio pickup due to the narrow acceptance angle of the line + gradient design. It also features smooth, natural-sounding on-axis audio quality and excellent off-axis rejection of sound arriving from the sides and rear of the mic.
