A great interview microphone

28.01.2016

This is my go-to interview microphone. It uses phantom power or an AA battery, I always use an AA as it saves my recorder's battery life.

I have predominately used on location (indoors) in people's houses, living rooms and in some work environments (public buildings)

Here are the best points about this item
1. Small and light, easy to hand-hold without undue handling noise.

2. Very sturdy and well-made

3. Sensitive, with little hiss

4. Dual power options

I find I turn to it whenever I have a fairly quiet interview space.

One minor work of warning, without the low-cut filter (on the handle) engaged it is very sensitive to handling and extraneous sounds. The first time I used it like that there were people milling around upstairs and they recorded like a herd of elephants.

Switch on the low-cut, leave it on and you'll love it. Has never let me down

Good for digital recorder

Zaphod42, 14.12.2010

Use the AT 8010 on my Tascam DR-100 recorder as an external microphone for interviews. Sound is great, for a reportermic but a little plopp and wind-sensitive. The processing I have seen elsewhere better, but is synonymous fully in order. What I really like is that I can deal with the AT 8010 quite sparingly with the preamplification. Fits perfectly if you have to live with a weak precursor, as with many digital recorders.

Unfortunately, there is no switch for the battery voltage. Overall for the price a really good mic.
