The Audio-Technica AT897 is your choice for clear field audio in
film, television, professional recording, wildlife recording and
other broadcast applications. This line plus gradient condenser
microphone mounts conveniently on a DV camera without adding heft
and remains out of the video frame even when used with compact
digital video cameras. The AT897 is a superb choice for outstanding
long-distance audio pickup thanks to its narrow acceptance angle.
