Audio-Technica ATV-SG1 On-Camera Shotgun Microphone

Features numerous professional enhancements for enhanced audio control.

These include a low-cut filter switch to attenuate low-frequency noise such as wind, traffic, and air conditioning sounds, and a gain knob conveniently located on the rear of the unit for smooth adjustments during shooting. The Safety Track function simultaneously records a main channel and a -6dB backup channel, providing protection against unexpected volume changes.

Equipped with an external input terminal and an accessory shoe, it allows for the attachment of wireless lavalier microphones or the connection of wired lavalier microphones that utilize plug-in power. This enables the camera to simultaneously record audio from both the shotgun microphone and a lavalier microphone, preventing critical recording errors that can be fatal in professional productions. Furthermore, a headphone jack with volume control allows for real-time audio monitoring. The USB-rechargeable built-in battery provides up to 24 hours of continuous operation. A windmuff is also included for combating wind noise during outdoor or location shooting.

The 12-position shoe mount plate allows the microphone orientation to be adjusted in 30-degree increments, enabling precise sound capture even when the subject or sound source is off-center in the frame. Additionally, the slide rail function allows for forward and backward adjustment of the microphone's position, preventing the mic from appearing in the shot or interfering with other mounted accessories.
