Great microphone with a premium feel
IllegemsJ 28.10.2018
I use this microphone for outdoor efp's and I'm very happy with the results I'm getting.

Pros
- Clear sound
- Premium feel
- Good sound cancellation
- Very reasonable price for the microphone
- Compact

Cons
- Pretty high sound floor

I would recommend this microphone to anyone who is on a budget and want a semi-professional microphone that sounds good in most conditions.

Good shotgun mic for media and film sounds. Not too long, so it can fit in smaller bags too.

Never again!
Video-art 15.07.2020
This is my second microphone from AT. My first mic was a AT875R, a very nice camera mic. Then I was in need for a "better" microphone and I trusted the AT897. The quality was poor, the out put is way lower than its predesesor and it delivered a noisy sound which I always have to get rid off in the post. Sure you will find a better option on the same price range.

Awesome microphone used outdoors.
gilgsn 26.02.2025
I was looking for a microphone to use outside for my YouTube channel and opted for the AT897 to eliminate noises as much as possible, and it works! I put a hairy wind screen on it and put it just outside of the frame, or sometimes a bit in the frame on a stand in front of me. It has made a big difference in my video's sound quality. The microphone is pretty directional and lowers surrounding noise efficiently.
