Audio-Technica AT897 Shotgun Microphone

Professional Audio Clarity for Video, Film, and Broadcast

The Audio-Technica AT897 Shotgun Microphone is built for video production, filmmaking, and broadcast use. It offers clear, focused audio in a lightweight and compact design. Ideal for professionals, it captures sound directly in front of the mic while rejecting background noise.

The AT897 uses a line and gradient design with a narrow pickup pattern. This helps isolate speech or sound sources in noisy environments. Whether mounted on a camera or a boom pole, it delivers crisp, natural audio with minimal post-production editing.

Its compact 11-inch body is perfect for mobile setups. The microphone is easy to handle and fits well with most professional rigs. Despite its size, it delivers reliable performance in both indoor and outdoor settings.

Power options include standard 11–52V phantom power or a single AA battery. On battery power, it runs for up to 1200 hours—ideal for long shooting sessions in the field. This flexibility makes it a strong choice for both studio and on-location work.

The AT897 also includes helpful accessories. It ships with a foam windscreen, a mic clip, and a protective carrying pouch. These essentials help you start recording right out of the box.

Built with rugged metal construction, the mic is made to last. Its low self-noise and natural frequency response ensure professional-quality audio, no matter the project.
