The Audio-Technica ATV-SG1 is a feature-rich on-camera shotgun microphone designed for creators who need greater control and flexibility in their audio capture. Built for DSLR and mirrorless setups, it delivers clear, natural sound with a compact form factor, making it well suited for professional video production, interviews, and on-location recording.
At the core of the ATV-SG1 is a 14 mm large-diaphragm condenser element paired with a 100 mm acoustic tube, providing focused, directional pickup that isolates your subject while minimizing background noise. This combination captures voices and other sources with clarity and detail, while the integrated shock mount helps reduce unwanted vibrations and handling noise from camera movement. A built-in low-cut filter further refines recordings by reducing low-frequency rumble from wind, traffic, or environmental noise.
What sets the ATV-SG1 apart is its expanded control and monitoring features. A stepless gain adjustment knob allows quick level changes during recording, while the safety track function records a secondary signal at a lower level to help prevent distortion from sudden volume spikes. The microphone also includes a headphone output for real-time monitoring and an external input jack, enabling simultaneous use with a lavalier microphone for more versatile recording setups.
Powered by a built-in rechargeable battery with up to 24 hours of operation, the ATV-SG1 is designed for extended shoots without interruption. Its adjustable mounting system allows precise positioning, and the included wind muff ensures reliable performance outdoors. Combining professional audio quality with practical features, the ATV-SG1 is a strong choice for creators who want more control over their sound without adding complexity to their workflow.
