Audio Technica AT8035 Line/Gradient Condenser Microphone

Product Description

The Audio Technica AT8035 is ideal for videos and movies but should be installed outside of the image, in other words, out of camera range. This type of microphone, provided with an interference tube in front of the capsule, which cancels a large part of its off-axis. Audio-Technica's Line and Gradient Condenser Microphones combine a directional capsule ("gradient") and an interference tube which removes the sound from the rear. Generally, the interference tube of this type of microphone can be extended to reduce the acceptance angle and thus increase the sound capture distance. Short condenser microphones do not have as long a range as shotgun models, but in some cases are preferred for their greater acceptance angle, when the accuracy of the source is less important.

The low-cut position reduces sensitivity to ambient low frequency noise such as traffic noise, ventilation, reverberation of the room or mechanical vibrations transmitted through the recording device.

The AT8035 shotgun microphone can be powered in two ways allowing for maximum versatility. You can use it on a professional camera or recorder equipped with XLR inputs with phantom power, or by using a 1.5V AA battery (included) on any device equipped with XLR inputs.

Suited for both boom & handheld use, it provides the narrow acceptance angle desirable for long-distance sound pickup, featuring excellent sound rejection from the sides and rear of mic and switchable low-frequency roll-off. The AT8035 guarantees you a very specific audio capture with high intelligibility.

Two power modes (battery or 48V phantom power) for increased versatility.
