Product Overview
The Audio-Technica AT897 is a line + gradient condenser shotgun microphone for video production, ENG/EFP broadcast, wildlife recording, and sound reinforcement. Its narrow acceptance angle delivers outstanding long-distance pickup while rejecting off-axis noise. This professional shotgun microphone runs on battery or phantom power for flexible field use.
Product Description
The Audio-Technica AT897 uses a line + gradient design to focus tightly on a distant subject, with a switchable 80 Hz high-pass filter to cut unwanted low-frequency sound. It operates on 11V to 52V phantom power or a single 1.5V AA battery.

A 3-pin XLRM output connects to cameras, recorders, and mixers, making it a versatile field shotgun. Explore more Audio-Technica microphones at Creation Networks.
