Technica AT897
Line + Gradient Condenser Shotgun 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.
Accessories included: AT8405a stand clamp for 5/8"-27 threaded
stands; AT8134 windscreen; battery; 5/8"-27 to 3/8"-16 threaded
adapter and a protective carrying case.
