Audio-Technica ATV-SG1LE On-Camera Shotgun Microphone

Capture clear, focused audio for your videos with the Audio-Technica ATV-SG1LE on-camera shotgun microphone. Built with content creators, vloggers and videographers in mind, this compact microphone combines professional sound quality with simple plug-and-play operation. A highly directional 100 mm acoustic tube keeps pickup focused on your subject while minimizing background noise, while the newly designed 14 mm large-diameter diaphragm delivers natural, high-resolution sound across a wide 20Hz–20kHz frequency response. The mic connects easily to DSLR and mirrorless cameras using the included TRS-to-TRS cable and operates on convenient plug-in power, eliminating the need for batteries. With its compact design, integrated shock mount and included wind muff, the ATV-SG1LE provides a complete, ready-to-shoot audio solution for interviews, vlogs and on-location video production.

Directional Pickup With Natural, High-Resolution Audio

Equipped with the same 100 mm acoustic tube design used in the flagship ATV-SG1, this microphone focuses tightly on the sound source while rejecting off-axis noise and distractions. At the core of the design is a newly developed 14 mm large-diameter diaphragm that provides high sensitivity and low noise characteristics for lifelike voice reproduction and detailed audio capture. The extended frequency response ensures that dialogue, ambience and instruments are recorded with clarity and accuracy, making the ATV-SG1LE ideal for interviews, narration, documentary work and general video production.

Compact Design Built for Real-World Shooting

With a body measuring just 5" long and weighing only 3.5 oz, the ATV-SG1LE integrates easily with lightweight camera rigs and mobile shooting setups. The integrated shock mount helps reduce handling noise caused by camera movement and vibrations, ensuring cleaner recordings in handheld or action-style filming situations. Audio-Technica’s patented noise-immunity technology further protects recordings from RF interference and electrical noise generated by nearby smartphones and electronic devices. For outdoor filming, the included wind muff reduces wind noise and helps maintain clear dialogue capture.

Flexible Mounting and Reliable Japanese Craftsmanship

The ATV-SG1LE mounts securely to your camera’s shoe and features a unique 12-sided mounting plate that allows rotation in 30º increments for flexible positioning when capturing off-axis sound sources. This design makes it easy to align the microphone with your subject while maintaining a compact footprint on the camera. Inspired by the rugged solid-mesh styling of Audio-Technica’s acclaimed 20 Series microphones, the ATV-SG1LE shotgun mic combines durable construction with professional aesthetics. Designed and manufactured in Japan, it reflects more than six decades of Audio-Technica expertise in broadcast, studio and content creation audio.
