Description
Crisp & intelligible pickup - far away or up close.

Designed especially for use with video cameras.

Rated 1 out of 5�by matrix Doesn't work?
Just got it out of the box and tried it on my ipad2, which is why I bought and the mic doesn't come on at all? Tried it on a Canon Vixia HFG10 and have the same results...nothing. Now I have to spend additional money to get a replacement or my money back. How can you package any product without an instructional manual. This item doesn't come with any instructions at all. I will not be using this company again.

I am using the ATR-6550 with a Canon VIXIA HF R300 and getting room hiss and a low hum, even when sound is on auto. Any suggestions?

Rated 5 out of 5�by DanMcG I Love this mic !
This is my first shotgun and though I recognize that it is "value" manufactured and priced it gave great results when I recorded a friend talking to a crowd of 30 in a living room. Extraneous noise was almost non-existent and the speaker's voice 20 feet away was rich, full and accurately sibilant in the higher frequencies. I mounted it in the AT8410a shock mount and that into the hot shoe on a consumer-grade video-tape Handicam and the results were just fine. I got plenty of signal from the mic into the recorder so the sound on a TV set is really good for such an amateurish production. I highly recommend the AT6550, especially for the price and the results. Great job A-T !

Rated 5 out of 5�by MeanGene Great value for better audio!
The "Tele" setting on this mike does a great job of picking up audio from a distance, almost as good as a lav mike. Easy to use, also, easy to forget to turn on but you only make that mistake once. An LED indicator when the mike is switched on would be a nice reminder to turn it off before storing. Battery life is very good. I use a NIMH rechargable battery and carry a charged spare. Accessory foot does not fit Canon Vixea Mini-Advanced Shoe. All-in-all a great buy!
