Audio-Technica AT8035 Uni. Shotgun Batt/Phantom

The Audio-Technica AT8035 Uni. Shotgun Batt/Phantom is specially built for outdoor recordings, such as for use in making indie films, documentaries, nature shows, and TV shoots. It uses an extended interference tube to ensure a sharper directionality, in comparison with what is offered by several shorter shotgun mics. Its moderate sensitivity offers exceptional performance when paired with low-noise, high-gain microphone preamps. Featuring a switchable 80 Hz low-cut filter, this microphone delivers crystal-clear sound by attenuating bass and rumble build-ups. Its full-spectrum frequency response utilises a moderate increase in high frequencies to ensure studio-quality sound. The AT8035 is manufactured from premium-quality materials that offer durability and strength. It is lightweight and therefore easy on the camera or boom pole. It comes with all the accessories needed to mount it to a boom pole or mic stand. The microphone can be operated using a single AA battery or the phantom power, providing a flexible device compatibility.
