Camera Mount Microphone for DSLR and Video Recording
The Audio-Technica AT8024 is a compact camera-mount microphone designed to deliver significantly better audio than built-in camera microphones. It attaches directly to DSLR cameras and shoe-equipped camcorders, providing clear, focused sound for video production, events, interviews, and documentary work. With selectable mono and stereo operation, it gives content creators flexible control over how sound is captured in different recording environments.
Selectable Mono and Stereo Recording for Flexible Audio Capture
This microphone allows users to switch between line-cardioid mono mode and internally matrixed mid-side stereo mode. Mono mode is ideal for focusing on a primary sound source such as dialogue or a presenter, while stereo mode captures a wider sound field for ambient audio and natural spatial detail. This flexibility makes the AT8024 suitable for weddings, conferences, sports coverage, and on-location video shoots.
Adjustable Input Pad for Quiet and Loud Sound Sources
A three-position input pad lets users select between 0 dB, -10 dB, and -20 dB settings to match a wide range of sound levels. This control helps prevent distortion when recording loud sources while maintaining clarity during quieter passages. It allows the microphone to handle changing sound environments without compromising audio quality.
Low Frequency Roll Off for Cleaner Audio
The switchable low-frequency roll-off reduces unwanted rumble caused by wind, handling noise, room resonance, and mechanical vibration. This feature is especially useful when recording handheld footage or working in environments with background noise. By minimizing low-end buildup, the microphone produces cleaner, more intelligible recordings.
Integrated Shock Mount and Camera Shoe Design
The AT8024 includes integral rubber shock mounts that isolate the microphone from camera movement and mechanical noise. Its built-in shoe mount allows fast attachment to compatible cameras without additional hardware. This design keeps the setup lightweight, compact, and easy to deploy in fast-paced shooting situations.
Battery Powered Operation with Included Accessories
Powered by a single AA battery, the AT8024 delivers consistent performance with high sound pressure handling. A red and green LED indicator provides clear power status visibility. Included accessories such as a standard windscreen, fuzzy windscreen, coiled output cable, and battery ensure the microphone is ready for immediate use in both indoor and outdoor conditions.
