Azden SGM-3500L Overview

The SGM-3500L Broadcast Shotgun Microphone from Azden is designed for video and audio production with a camcorder, video DSLR, or portable audio recorder. With a frequency response of 40 Hz to 20 kHz, it is suitable for boom pole use in professional video productions.

Measuring nearly 10" in length, the SGM-3500L's long interference tube generates a hypercardioid polar pattern resulting in extreme off-axis sound rejection, especially at the higher frequencies. Featuring an all metal brass body that provides optimal RF rejection and durability, 48V phantom power, a gold-plated XLR connector to ensure a good connection and high resistance to corrosion and a boosted frequency response around 5 kHz where speech articulation is most present for clarity, the SGM-3500L boasts an ultralow noise floor at 13 dB for crystal clear audio.

Azden SGM-3500L Reviews

Super Happy With Azden SGM-3500L

By James

I wasn't sure if this mic would be the replacement for an older Sennheiser we've been limping by on. Having leaned heavily into Lav mics in the past three years, the SGM-3500L hit the right price point for our needs in 2025. This is a great shotgun mic. It has a well defined sound that does a good job at focusing on the subject as hand. After a bit of processing in post, this mic has a much better sound than we had expected! Having only used it for a couple of weeks, we look forward to continuing using it is future recordings. It's just a pleasure to use.

Works well

Sounds clear. Works well, and now I've got the shotgun mic I've wanted to add to my equipment.
