  • Focused audio capture with 11 inch interference tube

Indie film audio

The Audio-Technica AT897 is an 11 inch shotgun microphone built for indie films, nature recording and documentary projects. It delivers smooth on-axis tone with strong off-axis rejection while staying short enough for camera-mounted use. Operation is possible via phantom power or a single AA battery for flexible compatibility. The lightweight housing reduces strain on boompoles and camera rigs.

Upgrade from built-in mics

This microphone replaces on-camera or recorder built-ins that capture excessive ambient sound and handling noise. The jump is worth it when you need focused directionality from a supercardioid pattern and interference tube design. A selectable 80 Hz low-cut filter attenuates rumble and bass buildup. Moderate sensitivity is optimised for high-gain, low-noise preamps.

Sustained field recording

Under continuous operation the microphone maintains consistent directional performance without tonal shift. Battery or phantom powering provides reliable runtime for long shooting days. The durable housing withstands repeated mounting on stands, boompoles or camera holders. The included windscreen reduces wind noise during extended outdoor sessions.
