The Audio‑Technica ATR6550x is a compact, camera‑ready shotgun condenser microphone designed to deliver crisp, intelligible audio whether you’re capturing sound from near or far. Its switchable‑range design lets you toggle between “Wide” (cardioid) for close or medium‑range pickup and “Far” (supercardioid) for more directional, long‑distance capture — making it suitable for video, film, interviews, field recordings, vlogging, and on‑camera work.
With a permanently attached 3.5 mm cable, the ATR6550x plugs directly into a camera’s mic input for plug‑and‑play convenience. It comes bundled with a camera shoe mount, microphone‑stand clamp, foam windscreen, and an AA battery — so it’s ready to go right out of the box.
