Azden Pro XLR Shotgun Microphone SGM-250

Azden Pro XLR Shotgun Microphone SGM-250

Superdirectional microphone. A good choice for a first XLR microphone. Quality at a reasonable price.

The Azden Pro XLR SGM-250 is a microphone that operates on either continuous phantom power or AA batteries without any performance degradation, increasing the microphone's versatility.

A professional-grade microphone with less self-noise. The mic is not too long, so it is also suitable for indoor use as a boom mic.

For news production, interviews, filmmaking, nature photography, vlogging and streaming. The metal body ensures durability and good protection against radio wave interference. The microphone's acoustic tube has an excellent directional supercardioid pattern and good attenuation of side sound.

The control switch area is recessed from the rest of the microphone for ease of use. There is a separate power switch for battery or phantom power, as well as a switch for a high-pass filter that filters out low-frequency sounds.

At just 250mm long, the microphone is well suited for a variety of filming applications. It is long enough to capture high-quality sound from a longer distance, yet compact enough to be used with a shoulder-mounted camcorder or SLR camera.
