Made for Video Cameras
The ATR6550 includes a camera mount for easy attachment to your video camera (also includes a standard stand clamp).

The 3.5mm mini jack connector plugs directly into your camera, and the included foam windscreen reduces wind interference in the field.

Switchable Range Setting
In its “Tele” range setting, or supercardioid pattern, the condenser is engineered to pick up dialogue and sound effects at a distance, while bypassing ambient noise such as traffic, air-handling systems, room reverberation and mechanically coupled vibrations.

When ambient noise is not an issue, or the sound source is nearby, switch to the “Normal” (cardioid pattern) range setting.
