An Audio-Technica Solution Designed for Modern Video Creation
Designed and manufactured in Japan, the Audio-Technica ATV-SG1 follows the brand's tradition of realistic voice capture, with a clearly field-oriented approach. It adopts the design of a compact camera shotgun microphone while adding features expected by today's videographers: gain control directly on the back of the microphone, safety track, bass filtering, and extended autonomy via rechargeable battery.Its most notable evolution lies in the capsule: the new 14 mm diaphragm aims for more detailed reproduction, with a natural timbre rendering and better dialogue intelligibility, even in acoustically busy environments.
Who Is the ATV-SG1 For and What Shoots Is It Suited To?
The ATV-SG1 is aimed at professional videographers, journalists, documentarians, content creators, and lightweight crews shooting with DSLR, mirrorless, and compatible cameras. Its compact format and quick setup make it an effective ally for interviews, vlogging, reporting, run-and-gun captures, and outdoor shoots.The "line + gradient" directivity allows prioritizing the source (typically the voice) while limiting side noises. Combined with the integrated suspension, it helps achieve cleaner takes when the camera moves, when following a subject on foot, or during quick framing changes.

Questions frequently asked
Is the Audio-Technica ATV-SG1 compatible with a mirrorless or DSLR camera?
The main output uses a 3.5 mm stereo mini-jack, suitable for compatible cameras, DSLR and mirrorless devices. The 12-sided shoe allows orientation in 30° increments, and the sliding rail adjusts the microphone position.
How does the safety track of the shotgun microphone work?
The recording delivers two mono tracks: the left channel at the main level and the right channel attenuated by 6 dB to reduce the risk of clipping during sound peaks.
Is the low-cut filter useful for outdoor shooting?
The low-cut filter acts at 160 Hz with a 24 dB per octave slope. It reduces low-frequency noises related to wind, traffic, or air conditioning. A windscreen is provided to enhance protection during outdoor recording.
Can a wireless lavalier microphone be connected to the ATV-SG1?
A 3.5 mm stereo mini-jack input accepts a wireless lavalier microphone receiver or a wired lavalier powered by 2.7 V plug-in power. The signal from this input is mixed down to mono.
What is the battery life of this Audio-Technica camera microphone?
Its rechargeable lithium-ion battery via USB provides up to 24 hours of operation without using headphones, with a charging time of approximately 2 h 30. Power on and off are automatic with the camera.
