Description of 🎙️ Audio-Technica AT897 Shotgun Microphone: Ultimate Line/Gradient Condenser for Superior Audio Capture

Designed for video production and broadcast (ENG/EFP) audio acquisition. Short length (11") ensures mic stays out of the shot -- even when used with compact digital cameras. Smooth, natural-sounding on-axis audio quality. Provides the narrow acceptance angle desirable for long-distance sound pickup. Excellent sound rejection from the sides and rear of mic. Operates on battery or phantom power and features switchable low-frequency roll-off.

Professional microphone with great sound

I used it for the first time and was amazed by the quality and accuracy this microphone offers. I would like to say that Audio Technica values not only professionalism but also quality. The microphone came in a leather case with foam rubber inside. The microphone came with a microphone clip, battery and adapter. The sound quality is amazing! He captures very accurately what is in front of him. The cancellation was great and I listened to its effectiveness. As the producer of my boy band, I will

Excellent microphone

Excellent microphone. Many "comparison" videos between this mic and other more expensive mics seem to show that the pricier mics "sound better" due to the slight treble boost. This fools the listener into thinking "the more expensive the microphone, the better". In fact, every microphone is calibrated differently in terms of frequency response. It is enough to simply boost a certain frequency in your DAW to add the frequency you hear in a "more expensive" microphone and thus both microphones…

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons

Hear himself

Bought this microphone a few years ago and am very happy with it. The sound quality is clear with good bass. This type of mic needs to be pointed at your subject, so it's best to keep the subject stationary or have a boom operator hold the mic around your sound source. Mine connects directly to my Canon Vixia HFS200 via a 3.5mm audio jack. Since this microphone uses an XLR cable, you will need to use a converter for this. Use "GLS Audio 25' Mic Cable Patch Cords" for XLR connections (also…

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Having problems

Professional quality, affordable prices

Pure, real sound. Excellent for reducing ambient noise, except from the front of course. Outstanding construction and processing. All metal but very light. Made in Japan. Comes in a nice case; although too big. (Apparently the case is the same size for all longer pistol mics.) The nice thing is that you can cut out the foam in the extra space, put other small accessories inside, and store them in the bag. The microphone stand adapter is also of high quality. A windscreen helps reduce moderate…

  • Dope 🔥
