Audio-Technica ATV-SG1 On-Camera Shotgun Microphone

Capture clear, broadcast-ready audio wherever your camera goes with the Audio-Technica ATV-SG1 on-camera shotgun microphone. Designed for videographers, filmmakers, vloggers and content creators alike, this compact mic combines highly directional pickup, a large-diaphragm condenser design and built-in monitoring tools in a streamlined camera-mounted format. A 100 mm acoustic tube keeps the microphone focused on your subject while reducing unwanted background noise, and the newly designed 14 mm large-diameter diaphragm delivers natural, high-resolution sound with excellent clarity for speech and dialogue. With features such as stepless gain control, a low-cut filter, safety track recording and integrated headphone monitoring, the ATV-SG1 provides a complete audio solution for DSLR and mirrorless video production.

Focused Directional Pickup With High-Resolution Clarity

The ATV-SG1’s line-plus-gradient pickup pattern and directional acoustic tube are designed to isolate voices and key sound sources while minimizing ambient noise from surrounding environments. Its high-sensitivity 14 mm diaphragm captures detailed audio across a wide 60Hz–20kHz frequency range, producing lifelike vocal reproduction and natural sound character. This precise capture makes the microphone ideal for interviews, documentary production, vlogging and on-location filming where clarity and intelligibility are critical.

Advanced Recording Control and Flexible Connectivity

Professional features give creators more control over their recordings in dynamic shooting environments. The rear-panel gain knob allows stepless adjustment for quick level changes, while the safety track function records a secondary channel at –6dB to help prevent clipping during unexpected volume spikes. A low-cut filter reduces rumble from wind, traffic and HVAC systems, and the headphone output with volume control allows real-time audio monitoring. An external input jack and accessory shoe also enable connection of a wireless or wired lavalier microphone, making it possible to record both shotgun and lav sources simultaneously.

Portable Design Built for Real-World Production

Built for practical use in the field, the ATV-SG1 shotgun microphone features an integrated shock mount to minimize handling noise from camera movement and vibration. Audio-Technica’s patented noise-immunity technology helps prevent interference from nearby smartphones and electronic devices, ensuring clean recordings in modern production environments. Plus, the 12-sided shoe mount allows the mic to rotate in 30º increments for precise positioning, while the sliding rail mount makes it easy to adjust placement to keep the microphone out of frame. Lastly, a built-in rechargeable battery provides up to 24 hours of operation, and the included wind muff helps maintain clean recordings during outdoor shoots.
