Azden Professional Hypercardioid Shotgun Microphone

Pickup The Sound You Want
The SGM-250H is ideal for boom-pole applications, and a great tool for recording sound in an environment with high levels of background noise.

With a focused hypercardioid pickup pattern, the SGM-250H can help you optimize your recordings by producing a better signal-to-noise ratio and thereby helping you capture more articulate, intelligible dialogue.

Mitigate Noise with Low-Cut Filter
An extra tool for combatting low-frequency noise, when engaged the switchable low-cut filter will roll-off frequency response below 75 Hz at the rate of 3 dB per octave.

Proudly Handcrafted in Japan
Azden backs this craftsmanship with an incredible 10 Year Warranty, so you may shop with confidence that this microphone is Built-to-last for years to come.

Available Custom Furry Windshield
Azden provides two custom options for wind protection on the SGM-250H. The SWS-100 has a dense foam core and a furry outer lining for maximum buffering, while the SWS-H (coming soon) is a custom furry cover that slips over the existing foam windshield for a more affordable option.

Affectionately known in Japan as “Ni-Go-Maru” (Japanese for “250”), the Azden 250 Series is a collection of professional XLR shotgun microphones, each designed with a particular video application in mind.
