Audio-Technica’s AT875R is a super compact and easy-to-use shotgun microphone. Its extremely short design (under 7”) makes it easy to handle and seamlessly mount on a DV camcorder and pairs well with compact digital cameras, making it a convenient choice for video production, broadcast, and audio acquisition (ENG/EFP) for any professional audio production. The narrow acceptance angle allows for excellent long-distance on-axis sound pickup, and the focused pickup pattern provides decent sound rejection from the sides and rear of the mic. The sound quality is smooth, rich, and natural, and the tailored response minimizes camera and handling noise. With its included windscreen, protective pouch, simple operations, and the ability to operate from a low voltage power source, the lightweight and compact AT875R are favored by many Indie Film, TV & Documentary producers on the go who appreciate its convenience, simplicity, and quality sound.
