ATR6550: two-fold pickup pattern

This surprisingly affordable Audio Technica is designed specifically for ENG applications. A special trump card is the special switchable pickup pattern, which lets you choose between a normal and a tele setting. The first ensures a cardioid pickup pattern, but when you need to record something that is a long way away you can use the tele setting. Thanks to the super-cardioid pickup pattern, unwanted noises are kept out of the recording. This way, the ATR6550 has shotgun features. Give your videos an audio boost with this Audio Technica.
