Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Decent Inexpensive Microphone
I bought this mic for the usual home videos including vocal performances by my son. The ATR-55 seems to perform considerably better than the microphone built into my older video camera. Sensitivity is better, clarity is better, and the ATR-55 seems to be more directional.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Audio Technica ATR-55 Condenser Shotgun Microphone
Fair competitve price and excellent performance. Easy to switch between a gun mic and a normal mic.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Buen producto, pero sólo para "consumer"
En cuanto a la entrega del pedido, excelente, sin fallas y en el tiempo indicado.

Respecto al Audio Technica ATR-55, el microfono es muy bueno, pero yo lo recomendaria solo para consumidores, es decir, este no es un microfono para profesionales ya que tiene una capadidad menor de alcance. En el modo NORMAL, nos da una calidad similar a la del microfono de la camara; pero en el modo TELE obtenemos un radio mayor de alcance.

El sonido tiene un buen registro y otra de las cuestiones por la que no lo recomiendo para profesionales, es debido a que el microfono captura en MONO el sonido, lo cual, para alguien que quiera hacer un video serio no es muy bueno.

Insisto, recomendable para quienes graban evetnos sociales y cosas por el estilo, pero no para un "Prosumer".



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Exactly What We Needed
The ATR-55 performed flawlessly with greater range and sensitivity than expected. A community group HD video production was improved with the addition of this unit



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Solid low cost performer
The ATR-55 is perfect for the videomaker on a micro budget, and who needs a hyper-cardioid mike that can plug directly into the miniplug mike jack on a consumer camcorder. It's very similar to the Azden 990, slightly longer, and perhaps slightly more rugged, though I'm only assuming this because it weighs a little more.

If you're buying this for on camera mounting, you may be disappointed in that it might not be much better than the on camera mike you already have. This is the nature of sound recording. Shotgun mikes aren't audio zoom lenses, sound doesn't work that way. Mikes such as this work primarily by dampening the sound to the sides and rear, they don't really appreciably increase the sound to the front. The best way to do that is to move the mike closer, which is what professional audio recordists do. Ultimately, a mike like this is going to work best on a boom, set as close to the sound source as possible, just out of frame.

It does come with two mounts, one for stand mounting, and one for camera mounting.

Watch out for the on off switch, it's easy to accidently brush it and turn it off or on. I use a piece of tape to lock it into position.
