Audio-Technica AT897 LINE + GRADIENT Microphone

Capture focused, professional-grade audio for video, broadcast and security/monitoring with the Audio-Technica AT897 short shotgun microphone. Designed for field audio acquisition, this condenser microphone uses a line + gradient design and a narrow acceptance angle to deliver long-distance pickup with natural on-axis clarity and excellent rejection of side and rear noise. At just 11" long and weighing 5.1 oz, the AT897 mounts unobtrusively on camcorders and compact digital cameras, keeping the mic out of the shot while maintaining stable, consistent audio capture. Flexible power options—battery or 48V phantom—let you adapt between run-and-gun ENG and studio setups, while the switchable low-frequency roll-off tamps wind and handling rumble to reduce time spent in post-production. Whether you’re recording interviews, wildlife, broadcast segments or surveillance audio, the AT897 gives you a reliable, low-profile solution that prioritizes intelligibility and ease of use.
