About the Audio Technica AT875R Mic
Audio-Technica’s AT875R is designed for video production and broadcast (ENG/EFP) audio acquisition. Audio-Technica’s shortest shotgun microphone, it mounts conveniently on a DV camcorder without adding noticeable heft, and is ideal for use with compact digital cameras. This high-performance microphone offers a narrow acceptance angle of line + gradient design. It also features smooth, natural-sounding on-axis audio quality and excellent off-axis rejection of sound arriving from the sides and rear of mic.

Small but robust

The AT875R weighs only 80g, and at a length of 175mm, it is one of the shortest shotgun microphones on the market with professional sound quality. Made from metal, its inherent robustness allows it to follow you on the ground.

Ideal for use on booms

As boom operators are well aware, the weight of a microphone is paramount. The AT875R is the most affordable universal solution. Equipped with its own clamp with screw thread adaptor, it intalls very quickly on a boom or on a microphone stand, and at 80g you would almost forget it was there!

Excellent off-axis rejection

The very thin shape provides a narrow acceptance angle of 60°, while maintaining excellent rejection of off-axis noise. The AT875R guarantees you precise audio capture with great intelligibility.

Very short shotgun mic

The AT875R is one of the shortest shotgun mics on the market. Its small size and quality of its audio capture are superior to competitor products in the range.

60° sound capture angle

Its very narrow acceptance angle (60°) is desirable for long-distance sound pickup, whilst maintaining excellent rejection of off-axis noise.

Line + gradient

The AT875R combines a directional capsule (gradient) and an interference tube to remove unwanted sound from the rear.
