This microphone is a condenser mic and needs to use 48V phantom power. It also has a narrow audio pick up beam, which does a great job picking up the subject you point at rather than all the background sounds.
I have compared this mic to some of the favorite mics I use almost every day like the Heil PR40, the Audio Technica ATR 2100 and my Audio Technica Pro 70 lapel mic.
Using the Shotgun mic is pretty easy, you plug into a mixer or a device that can supply phantom power the mic, you point the mic at your subject and hit record or broadcast. Don't have phantom power? You can always buy an adaptor, which I will be revising soon.
The sound quality is very solid and crisp if you need a quality pro-grade shotgun mic that's a little less than 7 inches and is under 200 dollars, then this is the shotgun mic for you. The Audio Technica AT875R comes with a carrying bag, pop filter and a mic stand with a adaptor. I would toss the mic stand and grab a shock mount, I should have a review of one that fits multiple stand types very soon.
I can totally recommend this mic and will be using it for my YouTube videos moving forward. I wish I would have had this mic from get go. I will not be using this mic for podcasting. You can use it for that but I prefer a dynamic mic for podcasting. Thank you for watching my video and/or reading my review. This has to be one of the best shotgun mics for this price point, easily being worth twice the current price.

That was until I stumbled upon this mic, I heard very little about it aside from a few audiophile subreddits and YouTubers who like it but never really said all too much praise, but seeing as I was in need of something new I took a chance, and boy was I happy I did.
The build quality is all metal and feels premium, the sound is shockingly amazing for the price, and in many ways felt like a budget rode ntg2. While I will always recommend spending as much as possible for the best audio no matter what, if you're looking for a starter kit you can't go wrong with this mic.
This isn't going to replace the Sennheiser HKM416 as the industry standard, but it is one of the best you can get for under $300. The biggest issue I have had is that when I'm not careful with monitor volume, it will pick up the sound from my headphones while I monitor my recording (for V.O. work), but that has more to do with my headphones not being fully closed-back than anything wrong with the mic.
Overall, I would highly recommend this microphone to anyone looking for a quality shotgun mic without the budget for a Sennheiser or DPA. It is good enough for most professional work, and the low cost will help you save for one of the industry standard mics down the road.

Das Audio-Technica AT875R ist ein Richtrohrmikrofon, welches für den Betrieb 48V Phantomspannung benötigt. Wiegt man das Mikrofon inkl. Popschutz zeigt die Waage nur 85 Gramm an. Das AT875R ist also extrem leicht. Von den Abmessungen her, es ist 17 cm lang und hat einen Durchmesser von 2 cm. Die Röhre des AT875R besteht aus Metall, die gesamte Verarbeitung wirkt gut und solide.
Und nun der Punkt, den ich mir anders vorgestellt habe. Spricht man aus kurzem Abstand in das Audio-Technica AT875R, z.B. bei Montage auf einen Tischständer, dann ist die Audioqualität gut. Nicht wie bei einem Podcast Mic aus nächster Nähe besprochen, aber das hätte mir gereicht. Auch der Popschutz gegen Plossivlaute ist besser als vieles, was ich in letzter Zeit testen durfte.
Das Audio-Technica AT875R habe ich aber als Alternative zu einem Podcast Mic gekauft, weil ich in den Videoaufnahmen das Mikrofon nicht sichtbar haben wollte. Also, Mikrofon an einem Boom-Arm moniert und etwas weiter weg, aber immer noch nah bei a. 20-30 cm Entfernung montiert. Es kommt zumindest hier in Kombination mit dem Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 3rd Gen und der gewählten Testumgebung, eine unbehandelte Büroumgebung, zu deutlich wahrnehmbaren Rauschen, was die Qualität der Aufnahmen beeinträchtigt. Dies könnte für die meisten Nutzer, die halt mit dem Mikro nicht in professionell behandelten Studios aufnehmen, ein bedeutender Nachteil sein.
Daher vergebe ich 3 Sterne und empfehle es vor allem für Nutzer, die in akustisch behandelten Umgebungen aufnehmen.
Very directional and can isolate sounds required very well.
