AT-897
Camera Boom Microphone
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 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.
