Compré este micrófono siguiendo reseñas, para grabar testimoniales en un ambiente de mucho ruido. Muy buena construcción. Me sorprendió mucho la capacidad que tiene para discriminar el ruido, además que tiene excelente calidad del audio que captura y un nivel de ruido (self noise) bajísimo, prácticamente imperceptible. El cuerpo es muy corto, bastante sobresaliente para sus prestaciones. Perfecto para montar en cámara por su tamaño (con adaptador para alimentación phantom) o usar en boom. Mucho mejor que NTG 1 o 2 de Rode, que son cuerpos mucho más largos.

Il parlato registrato ha una tonalità calda e gradevole. Sulla mia telecamera non uso quello integrato ma sempre questo prodotto eccellente

I love this Mic. For its price, I cannot think of anything that would detract from my recommending it. I was able to use this with a boom, a shock mount, and a Tascam DR-40 to capture sound for video project. This raised the level of my production considerably, and I was thrilled by the results. No feedback, no ambient noise, it just plucked to voices that I was trying to capture out of a regular office building that had all sorts of noises that I did not want showing up in my production. Audio-Technica creates outstanding mics, but I wasn't sure if their entry level products would be anywhere near the level of the mid-range or pro-sumer products, and although I did not test them head to head with their other higher end products I doubt the differences will be much more than differences of degree. You get a lot for your money with this.

Be aware that this is not a big, long 14-inch or so shotgun mic. You are getting exactly what the is described a short 6.5" shotgun XLR condenser mic. You will likely get a little more residual side ambient sound than you would with a longer mic, and you will probably get a little less pick up sound with more feedback if you gain it up considerably, but like I said for the money you are getting a quality mic for amateur products. I was quite impressed with the clean sound I was able to start in post production with absolutely no regrets. I will continue to use this mic in the future, and have no thought to upgrade at this point.

Initially I was going for the Rode NTG-2, but later on I got recommended this microphone after my budget issue. This one is fairly cheap, is very short that fits in my hand, the quality is nice and solid, when I mount it to my windshield it just looks small. Works nice but it does not have good rear rejection as i thought, rather capture all the ambient sound around. I used it for the first time in a short feature, a party scene at a balcony. The ambient is under our control, no one else is talking nor there’s a background music, however there are still some background noise from the city and can be clearly hear during the shot. A dog barking, a car passing by.. etc. I have never compared it to other shotgun microphone, I just thought it should have better rear rejection in that case, but cant really expect this microphone to cut off the rear noise like other larger shotgun microphone do. If you are a starter, this one is affordable and does deliver a clean sound.

The media could not be loaded.

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.

Audio Technica feels like the black sheep in mainstream audio for film, not quite as well talked about as Rode, Deity, or even Sennheiser(though I am aware how loved they are in the audio community). So when I was looking to upgrade from my old rode micro for boom operator work, I had been searching for the big players like RODE and Sennheiser but was crying over the absurd prices, and this is coming from a RODE fanboy whose setup mostly consists of RODE gear.
That was until I stumbled upon this mic, I heard very little about it aside from a few audiophile subreddits and YouTubers who like it but never really said all too much praise, but seeing as I was in need of something new I took a chance, and boy was I happy I did.
The build quality is all metal and feels premium, the sound is shockingly amazing for the price, and in many ways felt like a budget rode ntg2. While I will always recommend spending as much as possible for the best audio no matter what, if you’re looking for a starter kit you can’t go wrong with this mic.

Really worth the money. Overall very good. Without being a high end microphone it provide good sound. Very light too so if you’re booming at 20+ feet you won’t feel it. Another major+ is that this mic is powered by 12v to 48v – the 12v being the knockout here. If you plan on using it wireless you get to choose any transmitter available.

I had low expectations in every way and boy were they shattered. Loud. Clear. Great mic

Used in a Rode blimp for recording audio for my filmmaking.
Very directional and can isolate sounds required very well.
