Audio-Technica Prosumer 175mm Camera Mount Shotgun. Phantom Only
Audio-Technica Prosumer 175mm Camera Mount Shotgun. Phantom Only
With its smooth on-axis tone, great off-axis rejection, and straightforward operation, the Audio-Technica AT875R short shotgun microphone is well suited for budget-conscious indie films, TV shoots, nature recording, and documentary projects where simplicity and quality sound are prioritized.
The AT875R’s high sensitivity allows it to perform reliably with a variety of microphone preamp classes. Its full-spectrum frequency response utilizes a gentle increase in high frequencies to enhance intelligibility and compensate for the loss in clarity resulting from wind protection.
The durable housing ensures rugged dependability while maintaining a lightweight that won’t burden your boom pole or camera, and the included accessories accommodate mounting the AT875R to a mic stand, boom pole, or camera-mount microphone holder.
Quality Sound
Being less than 7″ long, the AT875R is equally at home on a boom pole or atop a camera. It uses an interference tube and a super cardioid polar pattern to yield focused on-axis directionality while attenuating rear-entry sound and rejecting sound at the sides. This makes the AT875R far more effective at capturing distant sources than the omnidirectional mics found in most cameras. Its 90 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response naturally reduces problematic bass frequencies from common sources such as traffic rumble and wind noise.
11 to 52 VDC Phantom Powered
With a balanced 3-pin XLR output and support for 11 to 52 VDC phantom powering, the AT875R is compatible with a variety of handheld audio recorders, field recorders, and mixer adapters as well as built-in preamps on many camcorders and cinema cameras.
Ideal for Boompole Mounting
The AT875R includes a mic clip for easy placement on a mic stand or boom pole. Alternatively, mount the AT875R in the Audio-Technica AT8415 shock mount (available separately) to impede the transfer of vibrations between your boom pole and the mic. The AT875R also includes two rubber O-rings that expand the microphone’s diameter to fit the larger mic holders found on many high-end cameras.
Windscreen Minimizes Wind Noise
The AT875R has a foam windscreen to reduce unwanted wind noise from breezes, fans, heaters, and air conditioners. Enhanced attenuation of wind noise is possible with the addition of an optional windshield such as the Rycote 12 cm Super-Softie, which also provides high immunity to rain.
For maximum reduction of handling noise and wind noise in indoor or outdoor environments, consider the separately available Rycote Windshield Kit 3, a complete windjammer, windshield, and shock mount suspension system.
