The sound of excellence From on-camera shotguns and broadcast mics to USB podcasting and wireless, Audio-Technica has pro-quality solutions
ll productions need great sound and that is why the Pro Moviemaker Gear of the Year Awards celebrate the best audio
tools trusted by filmmakers and creators. This year, one manufacturer stands out. Audio-Technica has five nominations, spanning everything from on-camera mics and broadcast XLR models to wireless systems and USB podcasting solutions. Whether you are a solo content creator or an experienced production sound recordist, there is a nominated Audio-Technica product designed for the job. The creator’s top choices Leading the newest generation is the ATV- SG1 in the DSLR microphone category. Its standout feature is a dual-channel recording system that gives recording options such as capturing a -6dB safety track to protect against unexpected peaks, or to connect a wireless lav receiver to record the shotgun and lav mic simultaneously. A highly directional 100mm acoustic tube and newly developed 14mm diaphragm deliver focused, natural dialogue while also rejecting distracting background noise. Add headphone monitoring, a low-cut filter, an integrated shock mount and rechargeable battery offering up to 24 hours of operation, and it is a seriously capable solution. All serious creators need a wireless option and the System 10 Camera-Mount wireless system continues to be one of Audio-Technica’s most reliable location recording solutions, so is deservedly shortlisted in the wireless category. Its compact receiver uses 24-bit/48kHz digital transmission and Triple diversity technology constantly monitors frequency, time and space to maintain stable connections.
Audio excellence The latest ATV-SG1 (top) and the compact System 10 wireless systems are just two of the five products from Audio-Technica nominated in the Pro Moviemaker Gear of the Year Awards
Time to XLR-ate your audio At the opposite end of the production scale sits the BP3600 Immersive Audio Microphone, nominated in the XLR category. Developed through years of real-world testing at MotoGP, the BP3600 captures fully immersive 3D audio using eight hypercardioid microphone capsules. Designed for broadcast, live sport, concerts and film production, it records discrete channels that can be routed directly without additional decoding. The result is spacious, natural sound. Also nominated in the XLR category is the BP4029, one of the most versatile stereo shotgun mics available. Unlike conventional shotguns, the BP4029 combines line- cardioid and figure-of-eight capsules in a mid-side configuration, allowing users
to choose between wide or narrow stereo directly from the microphone or record separate mid and side signals. The lightweight construction makes it ideal on a boom pole or camera rig, while excellent off-axis rejection, switchable filters and RF immunity make it a favourite for documentaries and broadcast. Podcast perfection For streamers and podcasters, the ATR2500x-USB offers plug-and-play simplicity with pro-quality sound. This cardioid condenser mic includes built- in headphone monitoring with volume controls, making it ideal for podcasts, live streams, tutorials and voice recording. Supplied with USB-C and USB-A cables, plus a sturdy desktop tripod, it is ready to record straight from the box. Whether your productions live on YouTube, Netflix or in between, the right mic can make all the difference. And Audio- Technica’s five Gear of the Year nominations demonstrate the breadth of its range.
