    AT897 - Short Condenser Shotgun Microphone

    B&H# AUAT897 | Mfr# AT897

    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.

    XLR Male to XLR Angled Female Balanced Cable - 1.5'

    B&H# AUAT83141.5R | Mfr# ASP00127

    Audio-Technica is a leading manufacturer of audio cables, and their 3-Pin XLR Male to 3-Pin XLR Angled Female Balanced Cable is a professional, premium-grade microphone cable perfect for all types of applications. The 2-conductor, shielded, broadcast-type cable can also be used to extend the length of an existing XLR connection.

    • Balanced XLR Connectors (M/F)
    At each end, XLR connectors either have three pins (M) or sockets (F) within a locking metal shell. They are commonly used in professional audio applications to connect microphones, mixers, recording equipment and other gear.
    On typical XLR components, pin 1 is the + signal line, pin 2 is the - signal line and pin 3 is the ground/shield. This pin combination facilitates top-quality, low-noise, balanced audio, even across long-distance cable runs.
    • Phantom Power
    XLR cables are also capable of carrying DC "phantom power" to microphones on both the plus and minus signal lines. Shotgun and lavaliere microphones typically use phantom power or must use on-board batteries.
    • Shielded Ground
    The 3rd pin is connected to a copper-wound shield. Wrapped around the other two wires, this shield provides both an interference-blocking barrier and a grounded connection.
