Audio-Technica AT897

Never again!

This is my second microphone from AT. My first mic was a AT875R, a very nice camera mic. Then I was in need for a "better" microphone and I trusted the AT897. The quality was poor, the out put is way lower than its predesesor and it delivered a noisy sound which I always have to get rid off in the post. Sure you will find a better option on the same price range.

Good shotgun mic for media and film sounds. Not too long, so it can fit in smaller bags too.

Great microphone with a premium feel

I use this microphone for outdoor efp's and I'm very happy with the results I'm getting.

Pros

- Clear sound

- Premium feel

- Good sound cancellation

- Very reasonable price for the microphone

- Compact

Cons

- Pretty high sound floor

I would recommend this microphone to anyone who is on a budget and want a semi-professional microphone that sounds good in most conditions.
