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 Audio-Technica 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 127.1mm (5.0") long and 35mm (1.38") wide) makes this mic the perfect partner for action-packed activities. ATV-SG1LE boasts a highly directional 100mm 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.
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 14mm large-diameter diaphragm, which exhibits high-sensitivity and low-noise characteristics for rich, detailed audio.
Undisturbed 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° increments to enable the capture of off-center sound sources.
