OVERVIEW

The AT897 by Audio-Technica is a specialized microphone crafted for field audio acquisition in various applications such as film, television, video production, professional recording, wildlife recording, and broadcasting. This microphone is engineered to be mounted conveniently on DV camcorders, seamlessly integrating without adding significant weight, and remaining discreetly out of frame even when used with compact digital cameras. With its high-performance short shotgun design, the AT897 excels in capturing long-distance audio, thanks to its narrow acceptance angle in a line + gradient configuration. It delivers smooth, natural on-axis audio quality while effectively rejecting off-axis sound from the sides and rear.
