Audio Technica AT8010 - Omnidirectional Condenser Microphone
The AT8010 is ideal for interviews, sportscasting and for use as the ”mono” mic in conjunction with a stereo microphone. Its omnidirectional polar pattern provides natural reproduction of the surrounding ambience. The mic’s rugged housing with hardened-steel grille stands up to field use; its internal shock mounting minimizes handling and cable noise. Operates on battery or phantom power.
