This compact, easy-to-use on-camera shotgun mic 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.
