ZOOM SGV-6 mic overview
The SGV-6 is a mic with focused directionality based on the technologies of shotgun mics, which are designed to capture sound in the direction they are pointed. By capturing only the vocal, sounds from other instruments on stage are suppressed, enabling accurate pitch correction and harmonization.
Sing towards this end.
Holding this part will change its directionality, preventing it from functioning correctly. Avoid holding it during use.
Note:The SGV-6 is a delicate device. Do not drop it or hit it with excessive force.
