Brand
ZOOM
The Zoom SGH-6 Shotgun Microphone Capsule is a highly directional mono microphone designed for Zoom H5 and H6 modular field recorders. It captures focused audio from the front while significantly reducing side and rear noise, making it ideal for film production, interviews, ENG, and on-location recording. Featuring a built-in preamp and three internal microphone elements, it delivers clear, detailed sound with strong directionality for professional use. Its compact capsule design attaches directly to compatible Zoom recorders, transforming them into powerful shotgun recording systems for broadcast-quality audio capture in demanding environments.
Zoom SGH-6 Shotgun Microphone Capsule
The Zoom SGH-6 is a highly directional shotgun microphone capsule designed for compatible Zoom handheld recorders and field audio systems. Built for film production, video recording, journalism, and ENG applications, it delivers focused audio capture while rejecting unwanted background noise, making it ideal for dialogue and subject-focused recording.
Highly Directional Shotgun Microphone Design
The SGH-6 uses a super-cardioid / hyperdirectional pickup pattern achieved through an internal multi-capsule design. This allows it to isolate sound from the front while minimizing ambient noise from the sides and rear, ensuring clear and focused audio capture in challenging environments.
Optimized for Film, Video, and Field Recording
Designed for on-camera and off-camera use, the SGH-6 is widely used in film production, electronic news gathering (ENG), interviews, and live event recording. It is particularly effective when the microphone must remain out of frame while still capturing clean dialogue.
Integrated Capsule Design with Compact Form Factor
The SGH-6 is part of Zoom’s interchangeable capsule system, allowing it to mount directly onto compatible recorders without external cabling. Despite its shotgun functionality, it maintains a compact form factor suitable for portable recording setups.
Included Wind Protection
The capsule comes with a dedicated hairy windscreen that reduces wind noise and plosive interference, improving audio clarity during outdoor recording sessions.
Professional Audio Performance
The SGH-6 includes an internal preamp and delivers a tight, focused sound profile optimized for speech and directional audio capture. It is designed to prioritize clarity of the target source over ambient room sound.
