AUDIO-TECHNICA AT875R Microphone

Audio-Technica AT875R Short Shotgun Microphone

The Audio-Technica AT875R is designed for video production and broadcasting (ENG/EFP). It is the shortest shotgun microphone offered by Audio-Technica, measuring just 175 mm. Due to its compactness and light weight, it is ideal for mounting on compact digital video cameras, DSLRs (with XLR adapters), or for use on a boom pole, without adding extra weight or appearing in the frame.

The microphone features a smooth, natural on-axis sound reproduction and excellent rejection of off-axis and rear noise, characteristic of high-quality shotgun microphones. The AT875R operates exclusively on phantom power (11V to 52V) and does not have space for a battery, which allows it to remain so small and lightweight. Its output signal is balanced, and the frequency response is optimized for dialogue capture, reducing camera mechanical noise and wind interference.
