Review: Un microfono che supera le aspettative, ho girato un cortometraggio utilizzando questo microfono all'interno del Blimp e devo dire che sono rimasto molto soddisfatto, visto il prezzo non pensavo che restituisse una qualità audio del genere, lo consiglio. Review: Super clean professional shotgun mic. This is an XLR shotgun Microp that goes into an XLR audio recorder, like a Zoom XLR Audio Recorder or a Tascam X8 Portacapture or a Rode Rodecaster, not a camera. A lot of these negative reviewers don’t understand the basics that you can get from a YouTube video about setting up shotgun mics for videography. ## Features - Designed for video production and broadcast (ENG/EFP) audio acquisition - Short length (279 mm) ensures mic stays out of the shot – even when used with compact digital cameras - Smooth, natural-sounding on-axis audio quality - Provides the narrow acceptance angle desirable for long-distance sound pickup ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0002TTN3Y | | Antenna Location | Video production, Broadcast audio acquisition | | Audible Noise | 77 Decibels | | Brand | Audio-Technica | | Built-In Media | battery, microphone | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Camcorder, Camera | | Connectivity Technology | Wired | | Connector Type | XLR | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (164) | | Enclosure Material | Metal | | Frequency Range | 50 hz 18 khz | | Frequency Response | 20000 Hz | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04961310098315 | | Hardware Platform | Camera, Television | | Impedance | 200 Ohms | | Item Dimensions | 50.8 x 5.1 x 12.7 centimeters | | Item Type Name | Condenser Microphone | | Item Weight | 145 g | | Manufacturer | Audio-Technica | | Mfr Part Number | AT897 | | Microphone Form Factor | Shotgun | | Model Name | AT897 | | Model Number | AT897 | | Number of Batteries | 1 AA batteries required.
