## Description

Audio-Technica’s AT875R is designed for video production and broadcast (ENG/EFP) audio acquisition. Audio-Technica’s shortest shotgun microphone, it mounts conveniently on a DV camcorder without adding noticeable heft, and is ideal for use with compact digital cameras. This high-performance microphone offers a narrow acceptance angle of line + gradient design. It also features smooth, natural-sounding on-axis audio quality and excellent off-axis rejection of sound arriving from the sides and rear of mic.

Review: Focused sound, minimal footprint, and super easy on the wallet... a must have for audio pros. - I ordered this shotgun mic to use in my studio recording ADR for a film that used a wide variety of boom mics, ranging from pretty bargain-basement to some of the more expensive, top-of-the-line mics available. As the budgets tend to get pretty slim in post-production, I settled on this mic, because it seemed to meet all the criteria for being able to blend well with the other boom mics that had been used on set. Wow, was I impressed. This 7" long powerhouse of a shotgun mic has rich mods, tight lows, and a super crisp top end that doesn't fry your ears with sibilance or hiss. Perfect for filmmaking, YouTube, interviews, or indie films where space and money are tight, but you don't want to sacrifice quality. This mic has great laser-focus, and rejects off-axis noise like nobody's business. The XLR connection was super easy to get cabled into my interface (make sure yours provides 48v phantom power), and gave us clean, broadcast-quality audio in seconds. It does take a little post-EQ, as there's no low-cut switch, and no pad, but this is easy to take care of in any DAW or NLE... And honestly, for ~$170 I honestly expected a much harsher, less focused sound than what ultimately turned out to be the perfect boom mic for our ADR needs, and so much more... I've used this mic on a few projects since the initial purchase, and every single time I use it, I'm astonished at the quality I get from it. This is literally a secret weapon that any audio recordist, from hobbyist to professional, should have in their arsenal.
Review: High quality audio at a great value - This is my first "true" shotgun microphone. For those of you that may be wondering if there is really a difference between this mic and some of the less expensive alternatives (Vidpro, Boya, Neewer), there is a DRAMATIC difference. This is not to say that you cannot shoot good video/decent audio with the less expensive alternatives - you can. For me - I discovered that my interviews and talking head videos did not have that rich vocal sound, and I had to do a lot of post processing to remove hiss & noise. This mic SOLVED that. This is the mic for frugal filmmakers & videographers who were stuck in the world of sub $100 microphones, and are looking to level up. Caution - this mic is NOT an alternative to the infamous Sennheiser MKH 416 although many people are attempted to compare - the 416 is in a class all by itself. This microphone is a short XLR with no extras - no low cut or db boost, no normal/tele mode. The mic is also not battery operated so you will need a good preamp to provide phantom power - either through a field recorder such as a zoom, or what I chose, a Saramonic PAX1 preamp connected directly to my primary camera. I use this primarily as a boom mic. Hanging this mic just out of camera over my subject creates for a nice rich sound. The microphone does an OK job of rejecting higher side noises, but it is not so precise that I have to toil with aiming the mic. The mic is a line+gradient polar pattern, but it seems similar to a cardioid pattern. This is a recommend. Know what you are getting into though - you will need more "supporting" equipment around this mic - preamps, XLR cables, a good shock mount.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How long is the cable?**
A: It doesn't actually come with a cable at all, you'll need to order one separately.

**Q: I want to plug this into a dslr using 3.5mm jack. is this possible? i know this thing uses xlr, is there a way around it?**
A: You can use an adapter without any audio issues but from a more practical perspective: when I've done this I've noticed the weight of the xlr ends tethered together tend to hang in an incovienient way, smack on things when moving and put undue stress on the jack. This is a great microphone but it might be a better idea long term to find something that terminates in the plug that matches the camera.

**Q: Has anyone used this for voiceovers?  Perhaps inlieu of a Sennheiser 416? What was the experience and how was the sound quality ?**
A: Yes,  it's suitable for V/Os. Distance it about a foot from the source. 
FYI,  my other mic is a 416.
Great if there's more than 2 person talking at a go. (it's not too directional,  so wil pick a bit better,  off axis)

**Q: Will this work with a Canon XA30 camcorder, without buy anything else?**
A: You will need an XLR-XLR cable. That's it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Audio Technica Shotgun Mic AT875R Review & Comparison
*by C***Y on July 18, 2016*

I use many different mics for my video and podcast studio. It was no surprise to find another great Audio Technica mic. This company consistently blows my mind with there quality mics. The AT875R shotgun mic is no exception, this microphone does a fantastic job for picking up audio. This microphone is a condenser mic and needs to use 48V phantom power. It also has a narrow audio pick up beam, which does a great job picking up the subject you point at rather than all the background sounds. I have compared this mic to some of the favorite mics I use almost every day like the Heil PR40, the Audio Technica ATR 2100 and my Audio Technica Pro 70 lapel mic. Using the Shotgun mic is pretty easy, you plug into a mixer or a device that can supply phantom power the mic, you point the mic at your subject and hit record or broadcast. Don't have phantom power? You can always buy an adaptor, which I will be revising soon. The sound quality is very solid and crisp if you need a quality pro-grade shotgun mic that's a little less than 7 inches and is under 200 dollars, then this is the shotgun mic for you. The Audio Technica AT875R comes with a carrying bag, pop filter and a mic stand with a adaptor. I would toss the mic stand and grab a shock mount, I should have a review of one that fits multiple stand types very soon. I can totally recommend this mic and will be using it for my YouTube videos moving forward. I wish I would have had this mic from get go. I will not be using this mic for podcasting. You can use it for that but I prefer a dynamic mic for podcasting. Thank you for watching my video and/or reading my review. This has to be one of the best shotgun mics for this price point, easily being worth twice the current price.
