PROFESSIONAL SHOTGUN MICROPHONE

Thank you for purchasing the Azden SGM-X microphone. Designed for Video and Audio
Professionals, the SGM-X is a directional super-cardioid shotgun microphone with a wide
frequency response and low noise levels.

MIC OUTPUT:
The SGM-X has a 3.5mm mini-jack output and will work in any low impedance microphone
input of 1K ohm or less.

BATTERY:
The SGM-X is powered by 1 “LR-44” battery (included). Unscrew the lower half of the barrel
case by turning it counter-clockwise. Install 1 fresh “LR-44” Alkaline battery, making sure to
check polarity, and close the case by turning it clockwise. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN or you
may strip the threads.

SHOE-MOUNT HOLDER:
The SGM-X is supplied with a shoe-mount holder. Snap the rear portion of the microphone into
the holder. To secure the holder to a camera shoe, slide the holder into the camera shoe and
tighten the thumbwheel by turning it clockwise.

POWER SWITCH:
The SGM-X has a 2-position power switch near the output jack.
OFF: Switch the microphone to OFF when not in use to conserve battery life.
ON: Switch the microphone to ON for normal operation.

USE:
To use, connect one end of the supplied 3.5mm mini-plug cable to the microphone's output
jack and the other end to the "mic" input on your video camera. Position the switch to "ON".
