Wireless Microphone Systems
We do our best to keep healthy stocks across the many Wireless Microphone System SKUs but in the rare case where we don't have your required system in stock, please contact our sales team as we can often make your product to order by borrowing the system components (transmitters, receivers or mics) from other stocked systems.

Main Features
Designed for video production and broadcast (ENG/EFP) audio acquisition
Short length (11") ensures mic stays out of the shot -- even when used with compact digital cameras
Smooth, natural-sounding on-axis audio quality
Excellent sound rejection from the sides and rear of mic
Audio-Technica's AT897 is designed for field audio acquisition in film/TV/video production, professional recording, wildlife recording and broadcast applications. It mounts conveniently on a DV camcorder without adding noticeable heft, and remains out of the frame even with compact digital cameras. This high-performance short shotgun offers outstanding long-distance audio pickup due to narrow acceptance angle of line + gradient design. It also features smooth, natural-sounding on-axis audio quality and excellent off-axis rejection of sound arriving from the sides and rear of mic.
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.
