Audio Technica AT875R Short Shotgun Microphone

Product Description

The AUDIO TECHNICA AT875R is a short shotgun condenser microphone designed for professional audio capture in demanding environments. It operates on phantom power, drawing clean power from a standard 48-volt phantom power supply through an XLR-equipped preamp or mixer. The short shotgun form factor delivers a tight, directional pickup pattern that rejects off-axis noise, making it well suited for film, broadcast, and live sound applications. Licensed audio technicians and sound engineers are the primary installers and operators of this unit.

The AT875R is applicable in professional audio production settings including film and video production, broadcast studios, theater, and live event reinforcement. Its compact length makes it a practical choice when mounting clearance is limited, such as on a camera hot shoe, boom pole, or mic stand. It is sold as a single unit per package.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation of this microphone is typically performed by licensed audio engineers or experienced AV technicians. Before connecting or disconnecting the microphone, confirm that phantom power is disabled on the preamp or mixer channel to avoid transient damage to sensitive condenser components. Secure all cable connections and mounting hardware before enabling phantom power. Follow applicable broadcast and production facility guidelines for microphone placement and cable routing.
