Great mic, does what I need and more.

I'm seeing a lot of older, negative reviews about audio and the battery not fitting. Perhaps things where change with later versions, because with mine, the battery fits normally and the audio quality is superb. In my case, I bought this to use with a H4N recorder and mounted on the parabolic microphone I built. To my surprise, this worked out perfectly. It's very sensitive and I'm able to pick up clear and crisp sounds from great distances, using the parabolic dish. I do recommend this mic for projects where a shotgun mic is needed.

Great Budget Microphone!

For the price of this mic you really cant go wrong. It is an awesome mic with great performance. You do get some background noise / interference but it is not noticeable at all unless you really amp up the sound.

I Love this mic !

This is my first shotgun and though I recognize that it is "value" manufactured and priced it gave great results when I recorded a friend talking to a crowd of 30 in a living room. Extraneous noise was almost non-existent and the speaker's voice 20 feet away was rich, full and accurately sibilant in the higher frequencies. I mounted it in the AT8410a shock mount and that into the hot shoe on a consumer-grade video-tape Handicam and the results were just fine. I got plenty of signal from the mic into the recorder so the sound on a TV set is really good for such an amateurish production. I highly recommend the AT6550, especially for the price and the results. Great job A-T !
