i have an AT-875R. i think it is a good mic for voice, but it rolls off a little too much low end to sound really natural... i like having the option to choose for myself what frequencies get rolled off! anyway, if you need an all around mic to also record ambiance etc., i would not recommend it. i generally end up using sE-A1 mics as a stereo pair for just about everything- ambiance, acoustic guitars, drums, room mics.... they sound great, but they are cardioid not shotguns and also need phantom (no batteries). for interviews the AT-875R gets relegated to an on-camera mic and i stick an sE-A1 on a mic stand as close as i can get. or if i need a translator, the AT goes on another mic stand to capture the translation to tape (invaluable for editing!).
