Audio Technica AT8024 Stereo/Mono Camera-Mount Condenser Microphone

Overview

With its lightweight yet feature-rich design, Audio-Technicas Stereo/Mono Camera-Mount Microphone offers a simple, powerful solution for capturing high-resolution audio for video. The microphones selectable line-cardioid mono and internally matrixed mid-side stereo modes provide the flexibility for recording highly focused or wide, lifelike sound. A three-position adjustable attenuator (-20 dB, -10 dB, 0 dB) accommodates even the loudest sound sources without distortion, while a switchable low-frequency roll-off helps reduce the pickup of undesired noise. The microphone features an integral camera shoe mount that attaches quickly to DSLRs and shoe-equipped camcorders.
