 Great Value November 16, 2008
This microphone, while clearly not the top of the line, is great in doing what it's meant to do: be a cheap microphone. It's perfect for beginning videographers, interviewers, or sound designers. While the audio quality leaves something to be desired, the positive aspects make up for it. The output is a 1/8 in audio jack, which normally would be a downside, due to loss of quality, but in terms of use, most beginners will be better off with the 1/8th in over XLR as most prosumer cameras have inputs for 1/8 in and not XLR. A great buy!
 AWSOME!!!!!!!! October 18, 2008
you kno the old saying you get what u pay for. it doesn't apply to this. this little mic is AWESOME. i really think you could do professional stuff w/ this mic. and for only about 45$ its a no brainier. it does all what it say very well. defiantly pick this up if you want to bring a whole new dimension of quality and professionalism to your next video.
Decent Inexpensive Microphone September 29, 2008
I bought this mic for the usual home videos including vocal performances by my son. The ATR-55 seems to perform considerably better than the microphone built into my older video camera. Sensitivity is better, clarity is better, and the ATR-55 seems to be more directional.

Fair competitve price and excellent performance. Easy to switch between a gun mic and a normal mic.
Buen producto, pero solo para "consumer" August 25, 2008

En cuanto a la entrega del pedido, excelente, sin fallas y en el tiempo indicado.
Respecto al Audio Technica ATR-55, el microfono es muy bueno, pero yo lo recomendaria solo para consumidores, es decir, este no es un microfono para profesionales ya que tiene una capadidad menor de alcance. En el modo NORMAL, nos da una calidad similar a la del microfono de la camara; pero en el modo TELE obtenemos un radio mayor de alcance.
El sonido tiene un buen registro y otra de las cuestiones por la que no lo recomiendo para profesionales, es debido a que el microfono captura en MONO el sonido, lo cual, para alguien que quiera hacer un video serio no es muy bueno.
Insisto, recomendable para quienes graban evetnos sociales y cosas por el estilo, pero no para un "Prosumer".
