The Audio Technica ATR6550 is a new standard for video microphones, designed specifically for video cameras and DSLRs. It offers intuitive operation and tremendous sonic performance. With two range settings (Normal and Tele), the ATR6550 can capture excellent-quality audio whether the sound source is up-close or far-away. Its powerful shotgun design allows for bypassing ambient noise and capturing only what you want to hear by pointing the microphone directly at the sound source. The package includes a camera mount, microphone stand clamp, foam windscreen, and an AA battery. If you’re looking for incredible audio quality in a portable, robust, and versatile format, the Audio Technica ATR6550 is the perfect choice.
The ATR6550 features a tight, precise, and powerful shotgun-mic design. Shotgun microphones are versatile devices that are commonly used in a wide range of applications. The ATR6550 employs selectable Normal and Tele modes that take advantage of directional capsules like cardioid and supercardioid. The unique tubular design of shotgun microphones allows for tight directionality, reducing ambient noise and capturing more intelligible sound at various distances. In recent years, shotgun microphones have become more compact, but the shorter style is often only suitable for recording high-frequency-based sounds. The ATR6550 addresses this issue with its length and Audio Technica’s expertise, offering a wide frequency response from 70Hz to 18kHz and providing a balanced and natural sound.
The ATR6550 comes with a camera mount and microphone stand clamp for easy mounting options. It also features a permanently-attached cable with a 3.5mm mini-jack output connector, allowing for quick and easy connectivity to your recording device. Designed specifically for video cameras and DSLRs, the ATR6550 ensures astounding audio quality for your videos, no matter where you’re shooting. The package includes the ATR6550 Condenser Shotgun Microphone, AT8134 Shotgun Foam Windscreen, camera-mount microphone clamp, microphone stand clamp, and an AA battery.
