Audio-Technica AT875R Line + Gradient Condenser Microphone

Clear, focused dialogue for your videos, even when the mic is not right next to the speaker. The Audio-Technica AT875R Line + Gradient Condenser Microphone is a short shotgun mic made for video production and broadcast (ENG/EFP) audio. It is the shortest shotgun in Audio-Technica’s range, so it sits on a camera or boom without bulk.

Why customers choose it

• Hears what you point it at: the line + gradient design has a narrow acceptance angle for long-distance sound pickup.
• Less room and crowd noise: excellent rejection of sound from the sides and rear of the mic.
• Natural voice: smooth, natural-sounding on-axis audio quality.
• Camera friendly: under 7 inches (175 mm) and only 80 g, with a response tailored to minimise camera and handling noise.
• Pro specs: 127 dB max SPL, 107 dB dynamic range and 74 dB signal-to-noise ratio.

Who it is for

Video makers and YouTubers, wedding and event videographers, news and interview crews, short-film makers and anyone recording dialogue on a camera rig or boom pole.

Specifications

• 5-year limited maker warranty (Audio-Technica US).

FAQ

Can I plug it straight into my camera?

Only if the camera has an XLR input with phantom power. The AT875R has an XLR output and needs 11-52 V phantom power.

Is it good for interviews?

Yes. It was designed for broadcast and video audio, with a narrow pickup that focuses on the speaker.
