SGM-3500L Hypercardioid Broadcast Shotgun Microphone

Product Overview

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-3500L is a 10” long shotgun microphone with a hypercardioid pickup pattern for maximum side noise rejection. The microphone’s long acoustic interference tube creates a more focused directional pickup that performs well in noisy environments.

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-3500L is backed by Azden’s longest warranty term of 10 years (with online registration) unmatched by other microphones in its performance class.

Included with the SGM-3500L 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, choose the SWS-200 windshield.
