Product Description:
An omni boundary microphone that is ideal for teleconferencing & desktop computer use
Amazon.com Product Description:
Ideal for meetings, teleconferencing, and desktop computer use, Audio-Technica's affordable ATR97 offers the convenience of a high-quality monaural, omnidirectional pickup in a single, easy to position microphone. The mic's professional condenser circuitry ensures excellent sound quality, while its on/off switch gives you a convenient method for conserving batteries. (The mic's internal preamplifier uses a single LR44 battery, included).
An omnidirectional pickup pattern is receptive to all sounds in a room, rejecting nothing but still level-sensitive (sound sources closest to the mic will be louder than those further away). The ATR97 comes with a fixed, 4.9-foot (1.5 meter) cable cables terminated with a minijack .125-inch plug. It comes with a .25-inch adapter for use with compatible gear.
What's in the Box
Microphone, 1 battery, a mic cable, a .25-inch adapter, and a user's manual.

- Picking up voicesI plugged this into my computer and pressed record. I was in a 12x17 room and no one as more than 9 feet away from me. When I played back the audio I could barely hear anyone. I have to attach my speakers to my computer and turn every volume way up. I have been continually dissapointed with omni-directional microphones.

- Great Quality if it used with PreampWhile some people complain about this mic, to me if it is connected with Mic Preamp with enough phantom power it really shines much better than using the battery that comes with it.
I purchased two of it for stereo recording connected directly via TCC TC-720 Stereo Microphone/RIAA Phono Pre-Amp, Preamp (Preamplifier) and interconnect the Preamp output to the Line-In in the PC sound card(not to Mic-In) which provide a very good quality capture from all directions but you'll have to record in ...

- Not worth the moneyI tried this microphone out and it really wasn't worth the money. It recorded with less clarity than uni-directional microphones. And while that is the point of a uni-directional microphone (to dampen out background noise) this seemed to be creating some interferance of its own. I'm sending mine back.

- Did not meet our needsI purchasd two of these microphones to record conversations during data gathering meetings using a computer. I was using tools such as Camtasia and Audacity. The mics did not pick up enough of the conversation to be useful. I tried four different computers with the same result, they did not meet our requirements. I purchased a more expensive Sony ECM-F01 and it works as described - great! So I am stuck with two mics that don't perform.
Rating:
- Poor quality for this brand nameThis mic is surprisingly poor quality for a brand name like Audio-Technica. The sound is distant and thin and basically makes the mic unusable for a speakerphone.
