Audio Technica AT8015
Line + gradient (Shotgun) microphone, 18.1" long
Description
The Audio Technica AT8015 shotgun microphone is the perfect AV system companion in conference room setups where a single speaker is targeted as the vocal input source but from a significant distance. When placed precisely to target a specific spot, this microphone ensures that the speaker is heard across the room, even if he/she is seated or standing away from the mic. The sleek physical style of the microphone remains unobtrusive in the visual line while capturing the voices of the target speaker or sound sources.
This microphone has a long pickup pattern for a more focused and directional audio pickup. As it primarily captures voice from the front. Plus, it effectively eliminates noise from the sides and rear. This helps pick up noise from only one speaker or a small group of speakers standing closer together, making it ideal for recording statements made by individuals in large open spaces filled with background noise.
The extended 18.1-inch length of the microphone is perfect for placing it out of sight of the camera lens for video broadcast. Depending on the target speaker, this allows the mic to be hung overhead or positioned centrally. The Audio Technica AT8015 design has been optimized for the best audio capture regardless of the distance from the speaker based on the positioning. For dedicated speaker audio pickup, like the ones needed in lecture halls, presentations, or even in film productions, this mic can be used in conjunction with any AV system setup.
The Audio Technica AT8015 shotgun mic design is enhanced to isolate and capture voices in noise-filled outdoor environments. It also features wind protection for these unpredictable and challenging instances.
Another feature that makes it an excellent outdoor microphone is the 48V-phantom or AA battery power option. This makes it compatible with many audio manipulation devices, including portable recorders and sound mixers. If flexibility of microphone setup is needed, then the Audio Technica AT8015 is the best solution.
