Description

The AT875R solves a problem every video shooter runs into eventually: how do you get clean, focused audio without bolting a full-size shotgun onto a lightweight camera rig? Audio-Technica answered by shrinking the line + gradient design down to a size that mounts cleanly on a DV camcorder or a compact digital camera without unbalancing it.

Narrow acceptance angle for reaching sound sources at a distance, rather than a room full of ambient noise
Line + gradient condenser design, purpose-built for video and broadcast work
Smooth, natural on-axis response so dialogue and narration sound accurate, not processed
Strong off-axis rejection to keep background clutter out of the shot’s audio
Compact, lightweight build suited to camera-mounted use

It’s the kind of mic that disappears into your setup rather than dominating it — a straightforward tool for anyone shooting interviews, documentary footage, or run-and-gun video who needs directional, broadcast-quality sound without adding bulk to their rig.
