Short shotgun microphone for on-camera use

The Azden SGM-250CX is a short shotgun microphone built for on-camera mounting at just six inches long. It includes a shockmount and a furry windshield cover for outdoor recording. A hardwired 13 inch XLR cable connects directly to professional cameras or recorders. The microphone requires 48V phantom power to operate.

Suited for dialogue capture in controlled

Video creators working on indie films, web shows or wedding productions will benefit from the supercardioid pattern that focuses on sound in front of the camera. The brass and aluminium alloy body rejects radio frequency interference. Buyers who need battery-powered operation or a wireless connection should look at alternative solutions.

Handles speech-level audio with 130 dB SPL headroom

The condenser element delivers a flat frequency response from 20 Hz to 20 kHz with low self-noise for accurate capture. It comfortably manages loud sound sources up to 130 dB SPL without distortion. The design is optimised for spoken dialogue rather than extremely high sound-pressure environments such as live concerts or industrial noise.

Questions about this item

What power source must my recorder or camera already supply for this microphone to operate?

The SGM-250CX requires 48 V phantom power from the connected device; it has no internal battery and will not work on plug-in power.

If I keep using an older mixer that only provides plug-in power, will the microphone still function?

No, the microphone is powered by 48 V phantom power only and will not operate on lower plug-in power voltages.

After connecting the 13 inch XLR cable and enabling phantom power, how can I confirm the microphone is capturing audio correctly?

Verify the input meters on your recorder show a clean signal when speaking on-axis, and listen for the flat 20 Hz to 20 kHz response with low self-noise.
