Description
Audio-Technica ATV-SG1LE On-Camera Shotgun Microphone || Guildwater Gear is an Authorized Audio-Technica Dealer.
The ATV-SG1LE is a compact, easy-to-use on-camera shotgun mic. It is a great choice for content creators, YouTubers, or anyone else who wants to capture professional-quality sound with their video. Simply plug the mic’s TRS-to-TRS cable into a DSLR, mirrorless SLR, or other camera and you’re good to go! Unlike typical plug-in microphones, which often sacrifice performance for convenience, the ATV-SG1LE’s unique plug-in power circuitry allows it to retain the professional characteristics of battery-powered mics, including an extended frequency range and high max SPL.
The compact size (just 127.1 mm (5.0") long and 35 mm (1.38") wide) makes this mic the perfect partner for action-packed activities. ATV-SG1LE boasts a highly directional 100 mm acoustic tube – the same tube used in the flagship ATV-SG1 model – to keep pickup focused on the sound source while blocking unwanted background noise.
The ATV-SG1LE adopts the solid-mesh style of our 20 Series mics, and like those mics this on-camera model provides professional-quality sound for lifelike reproduction of the human voice and other sources. Key to this natural, high-resolution sound capture is the mic’s newly designed 14 mm large-diameter diaphragm, which exhibits high-sensitivity and low-noise characteristics for rich, detailed audio. In addition, the mic’s integrated shock mount dissipates unwanted handling noise from camera movement and vibrations, while Audio-Technica’s patented noise-immunity technology prevents the mic from picking up any annoying hum from nearby smartphones or other electronic devices. The microphone also comes with a wind muff to ensure clear pickup in windy conditions.
The mic’s 12-sided shoe mounting plate also allows it to be attached to the camera at 30-degree increments to enable the capture of off-center sound sources.
Designed and manufactured in Japan, the ATV-SG1LE harnesses Audio-Technica’s expertise in content creation and broadcast audio. For more than 60 years, Audio-Technica has been a leading innovator in sound technology, providing audio solutions for every application, from home studio projects to some of the world’s largest broadcasting events.
