Audio-Technica AT897

Condenser microphone oriented film shoot

OVERALL OPINION

I use this mic for about a year to record mainly dialogues short film. Connected to a fostex FR2LE, you can perch at some distance without the sound is détimbré, although he rejects sounds from the sides and rear, however, must "point" to the actor who speaks with precision. The sound it delivers is very clean even at high volume, attention such ultra-sensitive microphone is: Rycote required if you turn outdoors. Comes with a solid case for convenient storage. I had a beyer M88 before that was his job but was not suitable directivity issue (hyper cardio). This mic for its price, allows for a very correct its shooting for a reasonable sum, I do it again this choice without hesitation.

AT 897 is a condenser microphone barrel. Ideal for reportage and fiction.

OVERALL OPINION

Hello,

I just used this mic for 3 days for a course mtrage. The precision and quality are impressive for the price, compared MKH 416 or Neumann has the same type.
I used a pole with carbon in configurations of o comdiens chained rpliques quickly. Must be followed because it is specific on, another 3 meter.

We must also see if using a mixer Behind. And I can only advise you of the 302 Sound device. Rent, because she loved the purchase document.

The AT897, I urge you to reportage or fiction. It is a very good shotgun microphone.

I confirm APRS rcoute and mixing on "big screen" that is perfect!
