The Audio Technica AT897 is a short shotgun condenser microphone designed for audio capturing in video and broadcast applications. The microphone's unobtrusive length of 11" (279.40mm) ensures that the microphone remains out of the frame when mounted on compact, consumer video cameras.

The microphone's narrow pick up pattern enhances signal reproduction when capturing audio at long range. Excellent off-axis sound rejection minimizes noise and ambiance, emphasizing the desired signal. A wide frequency response provides accurate sound reproduction of signals registering at various frequencies. A low-cut frequency switch eliminates noise and hum registering at the low frequency range. The microphone operates on a single 1.5v AA battery or 11V - 52V phantom power.

The Pearstone DUSM-1 Universal Shockmount features a four-point suspension to accomodate shotgun and other cylindrical microphones measuring 0.74-0.98" (19-25mm) in diameter. The shockmount is easily angled with its rubberized adjustment knob. There is a built-in shoe for camera mounting and a 3/8"-16 thread connection at the base mounts the shockmount to boompoles and universal hand-grips.

Rycote Softies provide optimum wind diffusion and noise rejection while remaining cost effective. This softie features a standard size hole and measures 14cm (5.51") in length. The softie will fit microphones with diameters from 19 - 22mm (0.74 - 0.87").

The K-Tek KE-89CC Avalon Series Aluminum Boompole provides a moderately priced, lightweight boompole solution for ENG, EFP and other field recording applications. Its sturdy aluminum design is tough enough to endure the rigors of road use while remaining lightweight and travel worthy. This pole features an internally coiled cable and XLR connection at the base of the pole. A total of 4 aluminum sections telescope between 2.5 - 7.2' (0.76 - 2.19m) and will easily store in any standard equipment case. The captive-collet coupling system lock each section in place for even further reliability.

The Universal Microphone Hand Grip from Pearstone offers standard 3/8" threading on each end to facilitate attaching it to your equipment. It can be used with microphone shockmounts for remote pistol-grip style use or as a short extension for boompole mounting. The cushioned ergonomic foam handle helps prevent strain with extended use.
