Azden SGM 250H Shotgun Microphone vs. Sennheiser MKE600 & DEITY S-Mic 2
In this week’s episode, we have a look at the Azden SGM-250H shotgun microphone. This unique hypercardioid condenser microphone has an extra-long interference tube for increased directionality. Made specifically for video production applications, its refined polar pattern can help you get the most out of recordings made in noisy spaces. In this video we go over the SGM-250H’s feature set and compare its sound to mics of similar price and design. Let’s take a closer look!
My reviews of the other microphones I recommend in the $300 - $400 USD price range:
Sennheiser MKE 600 — https://youtu.be/EXs-1R8LCg0
DEITY S-Mic 2 — https://youtu.be/x4tPO0G8b2Y
