Audio Technica - ATV-SG1
The Audio-Technica ATV-SG1 microphone is aimed at mobile videographers looking for precise, controlled capture directly on camera, with a fluid, efficient approach in the field. Thanks to its compact size and adjustable orientation, you can frame your image while maintaining relevant sound control, even in busy environments. Its intelligent design ensures focused, stable capture, so you can follow your subject without distractions.
Presentation
This is thanks to the precision offered by the 100 mm interference tube, which focuses the pick-up on a specific sound source with constant efficiency. This system naturally reduces surrounding noise, making it possible to isolate a voice or a sound detail in a busy urban setting.
The 14 mm diaphragm provides rich, nuanced reproduction, with a sensitivity that enhances vocal textures and subtle ambiences. You get detailed reproduction without excessive saturation, even during unexpected sound variations. The result is a natural recording experience that accompanies both moving and still interviews with pleasing precision.
Audio-Technica has added a built-in low-cut filter that effectively reduces unwanted frequencies from wind, traffic or surrounding mechanical systems. This means you can adjust your signal as soon as you capture it, which simplifies post-production work. The ATV-SG1 offers direct sound management, so you can get a cleaner sound right from the recording stage, without having to make too many corrections afterwards.
The gain control makes it easy to quickly adjust the sound level according to the situation encountered in the field. You can adapt your signal in real time without interrupting your recording, which is particularly useful for spontaneous interviews.
The safety track function gives you peace of mind. It simultaneously records 2 distinct audio levels, so you can recover a usable take even if you are unexpectedly saturated. This means you can secure your recordings without having to use a lot of external equipment, even when conditions become unpredictable, such as at events or public recordings.
