The nady sgm 12 shotgun condenser microphoneis a shotgun microphone that is powered via phantom power only—for use with professional cameras and recorders. Specifically tuned to preserve the natural qualities of a speaking subject, the mic provides video creators with a cost-effective solution for mobile journalism, run & gun, and documentary applications.

The SGM-250P features a 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response and a two-step low cut filter. The mic is built with a rugged all-metal barrel and has tightly spaced vertical slots along the tip to provide side and rear rejection. Measuring about 8" in length, the SGM-250P is easily kept out of frame in boompole applications and is suitable for almost any filming situation.

The mic is equipped with a gold-plated XLR output, and comes with a shoemount holder, a foam windshield, and a zippered carrying case.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does this come with the pictured shock mount?

A: yes it does.

Q: 2. is the xlr cable permanently attached to the mic ?

A: Hello. Yes, the SGM-250MX mini-XLR cable is permanently fixed to the back of the microphone.

Q: 3. Does it a battery compartment for AA batteries?

A: Yes, the Audio-Technica AT8015 Line and Gradient Condenser Shotgun Microphone does have a single compartment for a AA battery.

Q: 4. What does the CX suffix stand for? Camera XLR?

A: While the manufacturer does not specify, we believe it refers to Cabled XLR.

Q: 5. Can I use with a Samsung Galaxy 5 but use it with live stream or video with it on my phone for example I can use this simultaneously with video on my android and be able to film

A: The mic will function on smartphones when using apps that have sound recording capability. This includes video and audio apps.

Q: 6. I saw a user photo on the Canon C70 listing with this microphone attached. Will it work on the C70?

A: Yes, the Canon EOS C70 Cinema Camera has the necessary phantom-powered Mini XLR microphone inputs to work with the Azden SGM-250MX Mini-XLR Shotgun Microphone with Windshield Kit for Blackmagic Pocket Cinema (Shockmount, Phantom Only).

Q: 7. Will this mic comfortably fit in the Sony audio top handle for the FX3/FX30?

A: Yes, the Azden SGM-250CX Short Shotgun Microphone will fit in the mic holder on the Sony XLR-H1 XLR Handle Unit for the Sony FX3 Full-Frame Cinema Camera.

Q: 8. will the 250p work with xlr to mini on GH5s if you select phantom mode on camera...and does it reduce battery life noticeably?

A: There is no way to send phantom power from a camera's mini-jack mic input, since it is an unbalanced connection. So the SGM-250P will not work if converted to mini-plug on any camera. For this you will need a microphone that is self-powered. Our SGM-250 model shotgun microphone can run off a AA battery and could be adapted to a mini input if desired. However, for better results, we'd recommend the SMX-15 microphone for unbalanced, mini-jack connections. The SMX-15 also has a built in gain booster circuit to help over come the noise that is usually inherent in the poorer quality mic preamps that are built into most mirrorless and DSLR cameras.

Q: 9. shoud i buy the shockmount seperately or it will be provided in the 199 dollar pack ?

A: The Azden SGM-250MX Shotgun Microphone comes with Azden's SMH-X Universal Shockmount for Camera Shoes and Boompoles.

Q: 10. The specs indicate the operating voltage to be 11 - 50 volts. When I use this Azden mic with the Xvive U3C Wireless transmiiter, may I keep the transmitter phantom power voltage switch at 12 v instead of 48 v so I may get 7 hours battery power usage out of the transmitter as opposed to 5 hours usage using the 48 v setting?

A: Yes that is exactly what you should do.

[End Address] I've had this mic for a year now, and use it for producing my YT channel. It's an amazing mic not only for the money, but just an amazing mic period. I even did an episode called "Audio Impossible", that illustrated how even in my somewhat noisy environment I was able to isolate my vocals with the help of this awesome mic. 5

[Solid-State] All the quality at half the cost. Excellent interview and nat-sound location mic; ideal VO and vlog piece as well. Highly recommended. 5

[Mono] Needed a mic for short videos of actors for their demo reels. Tried basic mics but to have them out of frame they needed to be three feet from the actor and at that distance the sound was poor. Then tried lavaliere mics, but only the very high end (expensive) mics picked up the vocal range needed. Went to B&H and tried-out some shotgun mics in their soundproof mic room. With the help of a very knowledgeable salesperson I picked the Azden. The actors and their agents are happy with the sound, and the price didn't break the bank. Very satisfied. 5

[0.785 lb] I did a lot of reasearch before I purchased this mic. Once I got it, I plugged it into my Scarlet 2i2. It produced a wonderfully clean and crisp sound. The ability to run off of phantom power or battery is perfect! 5

[End Address] It came recommended as a solid drum overhead small-diaphragm mic at a very good price. It does well with vocals, too. I am pleased. 5

[Mono] This is a great little on camera mic. I've used it on loads of projects in some rough weather conditions. It performs very well and I'm pleased with the audio quality. Well worth picking up. 5
