Audio-Technica ATR6550X Condenser Shotgun Microphone

The Audio-Technica ATR6550X is a condenser shotgun microphone designed for on-camera and handheld use in video production, content creation, and field recording applications. A supercardioid polar pattern focuses pickup on audio from the front of the microphone while rejecting sound from the sides and rear, helping to isolate the intended subject from ambient background noise. The microphone features a two-position switch allowing selection between a standard pickup pattern and a more tightly focused long-range setting, extending its versatility for different recording distances and environments. It connects to a camera or recorder via a 3.5mm output and mounts to a camera hot shoe or cold shoe for on-camera use, and is powered by a single AA battery or by plug-in power from compatible devices. A low-cut filter helps reduce low-frequency rumble from wind and handling noise.
