Audio Technica AT875R Shotgun Mic Review / Test

Today I review a shotgun mic from Audio Technica, the AT875r. This mic is only 7” long and only 2.8oz (80 grams), with a polar pattern that mainly picks up audio from what you’re pointing it at. It does sound a little thin on the voice, but due to the frequency response, it does a great job at rejecting shocks and wind noise.
