Azden has set a new level in quality and performance with the SGM-250 and SGM-250P shotgunmicrophones. Both microphone models were designed for video and filmmaking professionals todeliver broadcast quality sound at an affordable price. A completely redesigned microphoneelement drastically improves sensitivity, frequency response and signal to noise ratio. The allmetal-alloy case provides rugged durability and strong resistance to RF. The custom designed,slotted, acoustic barrel exhibits excellent super-cardioid directionality and side noise rejection.
The SGM-250 offers the flexibility of dual power operation with either phantom power or with a AAbattery without compromising on sound quality. While the performance of other dual powered micstends to suffer when using battery power, the SGM-250 maintains the same superb performancewhether using phantom and battery power. An easily accessible power switch located on the bodyof the microphone allows for switching into phantom power mode without the removal of the battery,and a convenient LED battery indicator lets the user know when the battery level is running low.
Meanwhile, the SGM-250P is a phantom powered only version of the same microphone, with thesame size acoustic barrel but shorter overall length, and a lower price point as an addded bonus forthose that dont require battery operation.
Both microphones come with a switchable low-cut filter to help reduce low frequency noise. Whenengaged, the filter is active at 160Hz with a roll-off of 3dB per octave for a smoother and morenoticeable reduction in bass response.
Measuring 250mm and 200mm in length respectively, the SGM-250 and SGM-250P are suitable foralmost any filming situation. Long enough to capture great sound from a distance while mounted toa boom pole or on top of a camera, theyre still unobtrusive enough to be used on compact DSLRcameras.
Both microphones come with a leatherette, zippered carrying pouch, shock-absorbing mic clip withshoe mount and a foam windscreen.
