It's a Supercardioid Condenser Shotgun Microphone and a normal Unidirectional Condenser Microphone. It's ideal for the videographer or independent filmmaker on a budget, and it may be the only microphone you'll ever need. Here's why.The ATR55 is a versatile multi-purpose microphone, well suited to the demands of a production environment. The ATR55 is a versatile high-quality microphone, ideal for use as a high-quality shotgun microphone mounted on your camcorder or boom pole, as a folio (sound effects) mic, or for ADR (automatic dialog replacement) applications. The ATR55 is equally well suited to the studio or sound reinforcement environment, as a voice, musical instrument, or percussion mic. The ATR55 has two switchable range settings: Normal, for close- to medium-distance recording & Tele, for long-distance pickup. This capability makes it useful for a wide range of video and audio recording applications. The Tele (shotgun) setting is ideal for applications where a shotgun is the only solution to obtain high-quality sound. The ATR55 is the ideal solution for isolating sounds at greater distances from the camcorder, boom pole or boom stand, or where selective pickup in a multisound environment is required. It can also be hand held to isolate sounds in a crowd.The Normal setting is ideal for folio, ADR and studio production environments as well as for sound reinforcement applications. The ATR55 works well for voice, musical instruments and percussion.The ATR55 has a built-in 70 Hz roll-off to reduce handling noise from camcorders and boom poles, or when hand holding the microphone.The ATR55 is designed specifically for use with video cameras and in demanding production environments. It mounts easily on camcorders, microphone stands and boom poles (see photos on right).ATR55 SpecificationsElement - CondenserPolar Pattern - "Normal": Unidirectional, "Tele": SupercardioidFrequency Response - 70 - 18,000 HzImpedance - "Normal": 1000 ohms, "Tele": 2200 ohmsBuilt-in 70 hz roll-off (not switchable)Length - 11.375" 29cmDiameter - 0.825" 21mmWeight - 5.00 oz without batteryThe ATR55 has a permanently-attached 3' (0.9 m) coiled cable terminated with a 3.5mm mini-plug. It includes a camera-mount, pistol-grip stand clamp, foam windscreen, battery, and a 1/4" phone plug adapter.The ATR55 compares very favorably to more expensive professional shotgun microphones from AKG, Audio Technica, Azden, EV, Sennheiser, Shure, etc., at a fraction of the price and doubles as a Unidirectional Camcorder, Stage and Studio Mic at the same time. If you decide to upgrade to a high-end Shotgun Mic for video, film or studio recording applications some time in the future, no problem. You'll still have an ultra-high-quality mic for voice, musical instruments and percussion.All in all, the ATR55 Shotgun Microphone is the number one low-cost high-quality camcorder, studio and sound reinforcement microphone for your videography, filmmaking, stage and studio recording needs... And it may be the only microphone you ever buy!Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price $99.00ProStudioTools WS6520Professional Furry Microphone WindshieldYou see furry windshields (aka. windjammers, windsocks, etc.) everywhere; on sound stages, in studios, on indoor and outdoor sets, and in news broadcasts. They are used to reduce wind noise and are really quite effective... much more so than the conventional foam windscreen that comes with the microphone.They are used frequently outdoors in windy conditions. Windshields reduce wind noise from 10 - 12 db. They work well as pop filters for vocals and in interview settings, indoor or out. They also protect the microphone from wind, rain and snow. Some people just put them on and leave them on.And... they give your production crew that professional look too! The WS6520 Windshield fits snugly over the ATR55's foam windscreenThe WS6520 Windshield is easy to install. It slips right over the ATR55's foam windscreen just like a sock. Color varies slightly from shades of gray, to a mixture of whites, greys, browns and black. Shedding is normal for the first few months.Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price $30.00ProStudioTools SM420Dual Stage Universal Microphone Shock MountThe ProStudioTools SM420 is a versatile Universal Microphone Shock Mount with a unique Dual-stage, Chloroprene & Elastic Inner/Outer Microphone Suspension System which offers excellent noise attenuation, minimizes handling noise, and accomodates a wide variety of microphones of different sizes.The SM420 inner suspension system accepts cylindrical or tapered microphones including slender gradient mics, shotgun and instrument mics, tapered ball type voice mics, and handheld wireless mics, from 0.50"-13mm to 1.40"-35mm.

The BP1088 isn't just a heavy, clumsy mic stand with the bottom removed. The BP1088 was designed from the ground up to solve the unique sound acquistion problems of filmmakers and videographers on the sound stage and in the field.The BP1088 features our revolutionary new Articu-Lok clutch with 41 positively locking positions, providing articulation from 15 to 345 degrees, for maximum versatility. The mic can be positioned at or over the subject, over or under obstructions or other boom poles, or even around corners.Put this Sleek and Versatile Problem Solver to Work on your Next ShootHere's what the BP1088 Articulated Boom Pole can do for you.First and foremost, the BP1088 can be used as a conventional (straight) boom pole. That's a piece of cake! Just lock the articulation arm in the straight position and you have a straight boom pole (See photo on right).But there are times when a straight boom pole just won't do.That's where the our 41 position Articu-Lok clutch comes in. You can adjust the pole to solve any acquisition problem you may encounter.You can adjust the articulation to go up, over, and back down, to accurately position the microphone while staying outside of the frame.Invert the pole and the articulation allows the pole to go under and back up to position the microphone from below the subject.Rotate the pole and the articulation allows the microphone to be positioned around corners or in tight spots.Collapse section two into section three, rotate and lock the Articu-Lok clutch at 15 degrees (while the microphone is still attached), and you have a handle for easy carrying or stowing when the boom pole is not in use. 41 Position Articu-Lok Clutch System Click Image to Super-Size Folded for Easy Carrying or Stowing Click Image to Super-SizeSection one has a 5/8" threaded fitting for a microphone shock mount or a mic clip, and incorporates our Articu-Lok clutch system for easy adjustment to any of 41 different positions. Section one also unscrews from the other two sections for more compact long-term storage, although this is never necessary unless you want to save space.Section two telescopes a full 28 inches to extend the arculation to it's maximum length. Section three has a twist-lock collar for easy adjustments, two durable, low-noise sculpted foam hand grips, and a soft plastic heel.The BP1088 is rugged, light-weight, and able to accomodate heavy microphones with little or no bowing or flexing. The light weight of the BP1088, and the additional comfort provided by the soft and flexible foam hand grips reduce operator fatigue associated with longer shoots.The BP1088 system comes complete, and includes 2 Velcro cable ties and a boom pole cable clamp. No assembly is required.BP1088 SpecificationsNumber of sections - 3Articu-Lok Clutch - 41 positively locking positionsArticulation rotation - 15 - 345 degreesCollapsed and folded length - 34.5 inchesCollapsed and folded width - 8.5 inchesExtended length - 7 feet without shock mountExtended length - 7.5 feet with shock mountApproximate weight - 2.2 lbsApproximate weight - 2.7 lbs with shock mountLow-noise handle grips for superior acoustic isolationBlack Powder Coat Finish*Extended length - 7.5 feet with shock mountManufacturer's Suggested Retail Price $120.00 Pro88-XESArticulatedShotgun BoomSystemClick Image toSuper-Size ShotgunMicrophone &AccessoriesClick Image toSuper-Size ShotgunMounted OnCamcorderClick Image toSuper-Size ShotgunMounted InShock MountClick Image toSuper-Size WS6520 FurryMicrophoneWindscreenClick Image toSuper-Size UniversalMicrophoneShock MountClick Image toSuper-Size Dual-StageChloropreneShock SystemClick Image toSuper-Size Light-Weight3 Section 7.5'ArticulatedBoom PoleClick Image toSuper-Size Here's What You Get With the Pro88-XES Professional Shotgun Boom System!
