Azden SGM-250MX Mini-XLR Short Shotgun Microphone for Blackmagic Pocket Cinema

The Azden SGM-250MX is a professional short shotgun microphone that features a shockmount for easy camera mounting and a hardwired 13″ output cable with a mini-XLR connector for use with Blackmagic Pocket Cinema cameras. It plugs into the balanced mini-xlr audio input of the Pocket Cinema, which delivers phantom power and offers superior audio quality with less noise than the camera’s 3.5mm audio input. Specifically tuned to preserve the natural qualities of a speaking subject, the mic provides video creators with a cost-effective solution for TV, documentary, and film applications.

The SGM-250MX features a supercardioid polar pattern and a custom-designed acoustic tube with high-precision, phase-canceling slots that minimize the recording of extraneous noise while focusing on the sound in front of the camera. The highly sensitive capsule delivers a flat frequency response (20 Hz to 20 kHz) with low self-noise and 130 dB SPL, for accurate audio capture.

Handcrafted in Japan, the SGM-250MX is housed in a brass/aluminum alloy case that improves durability and rejects ambient radio frequencies (RF). The SMH-X shockmount with two diameter expander sheets provides a secure hold for your mic, whether you run-and-gun or mount it to a pistol grip or to a boompole.
