With a newly designed 14 mm large-diameter diaphragm and highly directional
100 mm acoustic tube, the ATV-SG1 lets you pick up just the sound you want,
allowing you to tell your story with enhanced clarity.
Sudden camera movement is a natural part of mobile content creation, especially
in dynamic situations. Audio-Technica has you covered. The ATV-SG1’s integrated
shock mount keeps things quiet so your audience is never distracted by handling
noise.
Sudden spikes in volume, such as someone shouting or the roar of a crowd, can
overload a mic and distort your sound. The ATV-SG1’s safety track option lets you
record two mono tracks – one at a set gain level, the other at -6 dB – to ensure
you always have usable, clip-free audio.
For more than 60 years, Audio-Technica has been a leading innovator in sound
technology, providing audio solutions for every application, from home studio
projects to some of the world’s largest broadcasting events.
Designed and
manufactured in Japan, the ATV-SG1 continues this tradition, harnessing
Audio-Technica’s expertise in content creation and broadcast audio to ensure
professional results.
Built for professional videographers and content creators, the ATV-SG1 on-camera
shotgun microphone delivers natural, high-resolution audio from a feature-rich,
easy-to-use device. The compact mic is designed for use with DSLR, mirrorless
SLR, and other cameras.
The ATV-SG1 boasts a highly directional 100 mm acoustic tube to keep pickup
focused on the sound source while blocking unwanted background noise. Like
the 20 Series mics, the ATV-SG1 provides professional-quality sound for lifelike
reproduction of the human voice and other sources. Key to this natural, highresolution
sound capture is the mic’s newly designed 14 mm large-diameter
diaphragm, which exhibits high-sensitivity and low-noise characteristics for rich,
detailed audio. In addition, the mic’s integrated shock mount dissipates unwanted
handling noise from camera movement and vibrations, while Audio-Technica’s
patented noise-immunity technology prevents the mic from picking up any
annoying hum from nearby smartphones or other electronic devices.
The ATV-SG1 also offers a number of professional extras to give you greater
control over the audio. These include a low-cut filter switch to attenuate noise
from wind, traffic, HVAC systems, and other low-frequency sources, plus
a convenient gain knob on the rear of the unit for stepless, on-the-fly gain
adjustment. For added peace of mind, the safety track feature records your main
audio level to the left channel and a backup track at -6 dB to the right channel.
This helps ensure you still get a clean, usable recording even if unexpected
volume spikes occur during your shoot.
The ATV-SG1’s built-in USB rechargeable battery provides up to 24 hours of
continuous operation, and the mic comes with a wind muff for added protection
against wind noise in outdoor and location recording environments.
The mic’s 12-sided shoe mounting plate also allows it to be attached to the
camera at 30-degree increments to enable the capture of off-centre sound
sources. And the mic can slide forward or back on the mount’s rail for optimal
positioning (to keep the mic out of the camera shot, to make room for other
camera accessories, etc.).
