Audio-Technica AT897 Broadcast & Production Microphone

Audio-Technica AT897 Line + Gradient Condenser Microphone, outstanding long-distance audio pickup due to narrow acceptance angle of line gradient design.

It 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.

Audio-Technica AT897

Audio-Technica AT897 high-performance short shotgun offers outstanding long-distance audio pickup due to narrow acceptance angle of 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 mic.

The microphone requires 11V to 52V phantom power or a 1.5V AA battery for operation. A battery need not be in place for phantom power operation.

The microphone’s highly directional polar pattern provides a narrow acceptance angle along with crisp, intelligible audio reproduction desirable for long-distance sound pickup. The output of the microphone is a 3-pin XLR-M type connector.

A switch permits choice of flat response or low-frequency roll-off (via integral 80 Hz high-pass filter) to help control undesired ambient noise. The microphone is enclosed in a rugged housing. The included AT8405a stand clamp permits mounting on any microphone stand with 5/8″-27 threads. A windscreen, two o-rings, a battery and a protective carrying case are also included.
