Audio-Technica AT8015 Line + gradient microphone, 18.1" long
Product Overview
The Audio-Technica AT8015 is a line + gradient condenser shotgun microphone built for highly directional capture in film, broadcast, and video production. Its narrow acceptance angle rejects off-axis sound, making it a focused shotgun microphone for boom and camera use in broadcast studios, auditoriums, and multi-purpose rooms. It runs on either an AA battery or 11–52V phantom power.
Product Description
The AT8015 uses a line + gradient (shotgun) design to reach a subject at a distance while rejecting surrounding noise, which suits dialogue capture, field production, and event coverage. Its 460 mm length supports the long, narrow pickup pattern.
Frequency response runs 40–20,000 Hz with an 80 Hz, 12 dB/octave low-frequency roll-off to control wind and rumble, and the microphone handles up to 132 dB SPL on phantom power. Battery or phantom operation gives crews flexibility in the field and in installed systems.
For a shorter shotgun in the same family, the AT8035 offers a 369 mm body with the same line + gradient design.
Key Features
- Line + gradient shotgun design — A narrow acceptance angle rejects off-axis sound for highly directional capture at a distance.
- Battery or phantom power — Operation on an AA battery or 11–52V phantom power supports field and installed use.
- 80 Hz low-frequency roll-off — A 12 dB/octave roll-off controls wind and rumble for clean dialogue and field audio.
- High SPL handling — Handling up to 132 dB SPL (phantom) supports loud field and event sources.
- Long-reach body — The 460 mm length supports the long, narrow pickup pattern for boom and camera use.
Typical Applications
- Broadcast studio
- Auditorium
- Multi-purpose room

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a line + gradient shotgun microphone?
A shotgun microphone uses an interference (line) tube to narrow its pickup, rejecting off-axis sound so it can capture a subject at a distance, which suits film, broadcast, and video.
Can it run on battery?
Yes. The AT8015 operates on a 1.5V AA battery or on 11–52V phantom power, so it works on a boom in the field and in installed systems.
What is it best used for?
Dialogue capture, field production, and event coverage where a long-reach, highly directional microphone is needed.
How is it different from the AT8035?
The AT8015 is the longer 460 mm shotgun for greater reach; the AT8035 is a shorter 369 mm body with the same line + gradient design.
How does it integrate into our system?
It connects on standard 3-pin XLR to a phantom-powered channel on your mixer or DSP.
