DESCRIPTION

−

Audio-Technica's AT897 is a compact line and gradient condenser shotgun microphone engineered for broadcast, film production, and field recording applications where focused pickup and superior off-axis rejection are essential. At just 279mm in length, it delivers the directional performance of longer shotgun designs in a form factor that's ideal for camera mounting, boom pole operation, and discreet on-set placement.

The AT897 combines a line element with a gradient element to achieve a narrow acceptance angle, effectively isolating the target source from ambient noise and room reflections. This makes it an excellent choice for dialogue capture, ENG work, podium applications, and any scenario demanding precise audio pickup in challenging acoustic environments.

  • Dual power operation: runs on 11–52V phantom power or a single 1.5V AA battery for versatile deployment in the field
  • Frequency response: 20Hz – 20kHz with a smooth, natural tonal character
  • Switchable 80Hz low-cut filter to minimise handling noise, wind rumble, and mechanical vibration
  • Lightweight construction for extended boom operation without operator fatigue
  • Low self-noise suitable for quiet dialogue and critical recording environments
  • Includes AT8405a stand clamp for immediate integration into existing setups

A proven workhorse trusted by professionals worldwide, the AT897 delivers broadcast-quality audio capture with the reliability and build quality expected from Audio-Technica's professional microphone range.
