Audio-Technica AT8024 Stereo/Mono Camera-Mount Microphone

The Audio-Technica AT8024 is a camera-mount microphone designed to bring clear, high-resolution sound to your video work. It attaches directly to the shoe of a DSLR or other video camera, giving you a self-contained audio upgrade without the need for extra rigs or cables.

A selector on the body lets you switch between line-cardioid mono and mid-side stereo operation. Choose mono when you want to isolate dialogue from a single subject, or move to stereo when you need to capture a wider soundscape such as city ambience, live music, or crowd reactions. This flexibility makes the microphone a practical tool for wedding filmmakers, on-location interviewers, vloggers, and documentary crews who often shift between tight shots and broader scenes.

The three-position attenuator helps you handle anything from a quiet conversation to a loud concert. Set it to 0 dB for everyday speech, step down to -10 dB for elevated levels, or drop to -20 dB when you face sudden peaks that would otherwise distort. A switchable low-frequency roll-off further cleans the track by reducing hum, handling noise, and other unwanted low-end rumble that commonly enters through a camera body or windy outdoor environments.

Field work frequently means long shooting days, so the AT8024 runs on a single AA battery that you can replace in seconds, even when you are miles from a power outlet. Because the microphone sits in its own integrated shoe mount, setup is as simple as sliding it into place and tightening the locking ring. A standard windscreen and a furry windscreen are included, allowing you to adapt quickly from indoor to outdoor conditions and keep your audio usable in post.
