help Audio-Technica AT875R FAQ
What is the polar pattern of the Audio-Technica AT875R microphone?
The Audio-Technica AT875R features a line/gradient (shotgun) polar pattern. This highly directional pattern allows it to pick up sound clearly from the front while rejecting off-axis noise from the sides and rear.
What type of power source does the AT875R require?
The AT875R requires 11V to 52V of phantom power to operate, which is standard for condenser microphones. It cannot be powered via USB or an internal battery, meaning it must be connected to a compatible audio interface or mixer.
What is the physical length of the Audio-Technica AT875R shotgun microphone?
The AT875R is specifically designed to be conspicuously compact, measuring exactly 7 inches (176 mm) in length. This shorter length makes it ideal for use mounted on top of smaller DSLR cameras without appearing in the frame.
Is the Audio-Technica AT875R suitable for outdoor filmmaking?
Yes, its highly directional line/gradient pickup pattern makes it excellent for capturing dialogue outdoors while minimizing background noise. However, users must pair it with an external shock mount and a windscreen (like a deadcat) to avoid handling noise and wind interference.
