Seven inch long supercardioid shotgun microphone for professional broadcast and film applications.
Adhering to Azden’s highest engineering and performance standards, the 3500 series shotgun microphones are handcrafted in Japan to meet the stringent demands of video and broadcast professionals.
The SGM-3500 is a 7” long shotgun microphone with a supercardioid pickup pattern for excellent side noise rejection. The relatively shorter length of the 3500 makes it a practical choice for on-camera mounting with cinema and broadcast cameras, while still being perfectly well suited for boom-pole work.
At the core of the microphone’s high performance is Azden’s newly developed high-sensitivity microphone element, capable of capturing rich detail, with ultra-low self noise and a wide frequency response tuned especially for speech.
The all metal brass body ensures durability and provides excellent rejection of external RF sources. A gold-plated XLR connector prevents corrosion and ensures good connectivity.
The SGM-3500 is backed by Azden’s longest warranty term of 10 years (with online registration) unmatched by other brands of microphones in its performance class.
Included with the SGM-3500 microphone is an articulating mic clip with 5/8″ and 3/8″ thread adapters, a high-density foam windscreen and a deluxe hardshell case. Each microphone is also tested before leaving the factory and is accompanied by its own frequency response chart.
For outdoor wind protection, both the SWS-100 and SWS-250 windshields are compatible.
