I have a question. Actually two questions. First, why are shotgun mics so expensive? Are they difficult to make or what? They're just microphones!
Second, Why is the Audio-Technica ATR-55 so cheap? Does it suck? It is on sale all over the internet for around $60. I'm very close to buying it, but I want to make sure it's not a horrible piece of equipment first. Does it sound completely different from the $200 mics?
If anyone knows about this mic, then let me know if it's a good one...thanks!
