Azden SGM-2X Double-Barrel Shotgun Microphone

Designed for Video and Audio Professionals, the Azden SGM-2X comes with two barrels that effectively change the pick-up pattern of the microphone. With the short barrel, the SGM-2X works as a sensitive omni-directional microphone. By attaching the supplied long barrel, the SGM-2X becomes a directional supercardioid shotgun microphone. In either configuration, the SGM-2X exhibits a wide frequency response and low noise levels.

Taking its place as one of the premier shotgun microphones around, the SGM-2X offers performance and features which exceed those of mics selling for hundreds of dollars more.

Azden SGM-2X Double-Barrel Shotgun Microphone Key Features

  • Two microphone barrels and appropriate windscreens are supplied with the SGM-2X. The 8-1/8″ SHORT barrel has a wide omni-directional pick-up pattern. Attaching the LONG barrel to the SHORT barrel creates a 15-3/4″ microphone with a super-cardioid pick-up pattern. This narrow or directional pattern rejects side and back noise and lets you focus in on your subject.
  • Low Noise (-70dB), Wide Bandwidth (40Hz-20kHz)
  • Balanced Low Impedance (680ohm) XLR Output: The SGM-2X has a balanced XLR output and will work in any low impedance microphone input of 1K ohm or less. This includes balanced XLR or unbalanced ¼” and 3.5mm microphone inputs.
  • Switchable Low-Cut Filter: The SGM-2X has a 3-position power switch: OFF, ON, and LOW CUT. Switch to the LOW CUT position to reduce low frequencies and increase clarity.
  • Integrated Shockmount: The SGM-2X is supplied with a shock-mount holder. This holder can be used on a camera shoe or on a microphone stand.
  • Connects To All Azden Plug-in Transmitters To Become A Wireless Shotgun Mic: You can turn the SGM-2X into a wireless microphone by purchasing one of Azden’s unique XLR plug-in transmitters and matching receiver, such as the 51XT Wireless Plug-in XLR Microphone Transmitter matched with the 500UDR or 411UDR UHF receivers or the Azden WX/T-PRO XLR Plug-in Transmitter matched with the WR22-PRO or WDR-PRO VHF receivers.
  • Two Foam Windscreens Included: The appropriate windscreens for both SHORT and LONG configurations are included.
