From Manufacturer

Designed for content creators and YouTubers who require professional-quality audio, the Audio-Technica ATV-SG1LE is a shotgun microphone that mounts directly onto your favorite DSLR and SLR camera and boasts incredible features. The 14mm large-diaphragm capsule, paired with a highly directional 100mm acoustic tube, captures sound sources while blocking unwanted background noises. Furthermore, noise from movement and vibrations is reduced thanks to the integrated shockmount, while a patented A-T noise-immunity technology gives excellent resistance to hum and RF noise—typically emitted from smartphones and other electronic devices.

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.

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.

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.
