About Azden SGM-3500

Explore the world of superior sound quality with the SGM-3500 Supercardioid Broadcast Shotgun Microphone. Designed with the needs of video and audio professionals in mind, this high-quality condenser microphone features a supercardioid polar pattern, ensuring precise sound pickup from a specific direction while effectively minimizing background noise.

Each SGM-3500 microphone undergoes rigorous testing before leaving the factory, guaranteeing reliable performance. Accompanying each unit is a unique frequency response chart, a testament to its individual calibration and commitment to delivering a wide frequency response with ultra-low noise levels.

The SGM-3500 microphone boasts a balanced 3-pin XLR output, compatible with standard XLR microphone inputs. The contacts of this output are gold-plated, ensuring optimal connectivity and resistance to corrosion. This microphone is designed to work seamlessly with any standard, balanced XLR microphone cable, allowing for easy connection to other audio equipment (cable sold separately).

This professional-grade microphone requires phantom power to operate. Phantom power, a DC voltage supplied through a balanced microphone cable, powers the electronics of the connected microphone. The SGM-3500 microphone is optimized for a phantom power supply of 48V, but can operate efficiently within a voltage range of 44 to 52V.

The package includes a microphone clip, designed to fit the SGM-3500 snugly. The clip features a 5/8" threaded hole, compatible with USA standard microphone boom poles, and comes with a thread adapter for fitting to boom poles with a 3/8" thread European standard pole. The clip can articulate to adjust for the proper angle when booming.

The SGM-3500 Supercardioid Broadcast Shotgun Microphone is a testament to Azden's commitment to engineering and performance excellence, designed to meet the stringent demands of audio and video professionals. Experience the difference in sound quality with this versatile and reliable microphone.
