Audio-Technica AT875R Videomikrofoni

Short Shotgun Microphone for Video Production

Purpose-built for ENG/EFP audio capture, the AT875R delivers focused directional pickup in a package compact enough to stay out of frame. Measuring under 175 mm, this is Audio-Technica's shortest shotgun microphone — it mounts conveniently on camcorders and compact digital cameras without adding noticeable heft. Thanks to the line + gradient interference tube design, users get a narrow acceptance angle suited for long-distance pickup while maintaining smooth, natural sound on-axis. A specially tuned frequency response minimizes camera vibration and handling noise, so this instrument is an excellent choice for indie filmmakers, documentarians, and nature recordists.

Interference Tube Design with Superior Off-Axis Rejection

Pairing a fixed-charge back plate condenser with a line + gradient polar pattern distinguishes this model from others. With the interference tube architecture, more than 25 dB rejection at 120° off-axis is achieved, and a gentle presence boost in the high frequencies improves speech clarity, even when foam windscreens are used.

Directional Precision for Boom and Camera Mounting

Isolating the intended sound source from environmental noise is essential in video production. The lobar polar pattern focuses sensitivity forward and reduces unwanted sound from surroundings.

• Polar Pattern: Line + gradient (supercardioid / lobar) — narrow on-axis acceptance isolates dialogue from background noise
• Off-Axis Rejection: >25 dB at 120°, >20 dB at 180° — progressive reduction of sounds from the sides and rear
• This microphone achieves a signal-to-noise ratio of 74 dB, capturing audio cleanly with minimal self-noise in quiet spaces.

Full-Range Response with High Sensitivity

The 90 Hz low-frequency rolloff is engineered to cut problematic bass from traffic and handling, while extended top-end detail remains intact.

• Frequency Range: 90 Hz – 20 kHz — covers the full audible spectrum and attenuates unwanted bass for cleaner recordings on location
• Sensitivity: –30 dB (31.6 mV) re 1V at 1 Pa — high output level means less gain needed from preamps, minimizing noise floor
• Maximum SPL: 127 dB at 1 kHz (1% THD) — manages loud sound sources without distortion

Phantom Power Operation and Ultra-Light Build

Running on phantom power alone eliminates battery changes and streamlines production. The all-metal body endures daily use with a weight of only 80 g.

• Phantom Power: 11–52 V DC, 2 mA typical — compatible with field recorders, camera preamps, and mixers
• Weight: 80 g — adds barely any load to boom poles or camera hot-shoe mounts
• Dimensions: 175 mm × 21 mm diameter — compact enough to avoid entering the camera frame
• With an integral 3-pin XLR output, users benefit from balanced, noise-free signal transmission over long cable runs.
