The microphone has a 12-sided shoe mounting plate that can be rotated in 30° increments for flexible, horizontal positioning and precise orientation. No batteries are required to operate the AV-SG1LE thanks to its plug-in power circuitry—just connect the mic to your compatible camera with the included 3.5mm TRS cable. A windjammer is also included for reducing extreme wind noise while recording outside.

Audio-Technica ATV-SG1 Reviews

If you record live music events this mic is for you.

I have been using this mic for several months now and the majority of my video work is live music. I has wonderful dynamic range. Recording marching bands from up high in the video nest at different stadiums you would swear that you had field level mics set up. It is that good. It is directional enough that it minimizes the crowd below, yet somehow still pick up every instrument performing on the field. It also handles wind noise very well. Then there are high SPL situations, it excels and never distorts! Recording up close video of the drum line, my insides are shaking, and my ears booming, yet this microphone picks up every bass drum boom, and every snare hit with full clarity. This is the king of on camera microphones! The rear mounted gain knob is awesome as well, no more digging into the camera menu to adjust gain when situations change. I love it, and I will probably be buying a few more in future. Great job Audio Technica!

Fantastic Mic!

I tested the ATV-SG1mic with an external wireless Rode mic pluged in the side. The shotgun mic was 4 feet away from the subject while the lav was on the upper chest of the subject. They sounded extremely similar. This mic is versital and well made and sounds great.

Asked by: George
The Audio-Technica ATV-SG1 Camera-Mount Shotgun Microphone is not a stereo microphone. According to Audio-Technica, it is made to be highly directional, with focus on picking up the sound source, and it has a lobar pickup pattern.

If I wanted to use the external mic input to plug

If I wanted to use the external mic input to plug in the receiver from a DJI Mic 3, allowing for the shotgun mic audio and two (up to 4) wireless lavs, will the ATV-SG1 work for this? The the audio signal going into the camera from the ATV be all the signals mixed together?
Asked by: Pali
The EXT input on the Audio-Technica ATV-SG1 Camera-Mount Shotgun Microphone will not mix the signal to allow for mixing in post editing. The EXT audio will be sent to the Right channel while the mic will be sent to the Left channel.

Does this microphone automatically turn on and off

Does this microphone automatically turn on and off when the camera is powered on or off?
Asked by: Eric
If the camera’s microphone input supports plug-in power, turning on the camera will automatically power on the microphone. Likewise, turning off the camera will automatically power off the SG1.
