Azden SGM 250H Shotgun Microphone vs. Sennheiser MKE600 & DEITY S-Mic 2

Описание: In this week’s episode, we have a look at the Azden SGM-250H shotgun microphone. This unique hypercardioid condenser microphone has an extra-long interference tube for increased directionality. Made specifically for video production applications, its refined polar pattern can help you get the most out of recordings made in noisy spaces.
