The Zoom SGH-6 Shotgun Microphone Capsule is a professional-grade audio solution engineered for videographers, field reporters, and theater sound engineers who require highly focused audio capture. By utilizing a hyper-directional super-cardioid pattern, it excels at isolating subjects in noisy environments while maintaining clear, broadcast-quality signal; however, users should note that as a dedicated shotgun capsule, it requires a compatible Zoom recorder base unit and is less effective for capturing ambient room sound compared to standard stereo capsules.

The SGH-6 is compatible with the Zoom H5, H6, and Q8 portable recorders.
No, the SGH-6 is powered directly by the Zoom recorder through its proprietary connection port.
Yes, if you use a compatible extension cable, you can mount the recorder to a boom pole and keep the SGH-6 capsule closer to the source.
Yes, a professional hairy windscreen is included with the purchase to help manage wind noise.
The SGH-6 is a mono shotgun microphone, designed specifically for focused, directional audio capture.
Ensure the capsule is fully seated and clicked into the recorder, and verify that the input is enabled in the recorder's menu settings.
Check your input gain levels on the recorder; high gain levels can lead to clipping. Also, ensure no nearby electronic devices are causing interference.
Verify that you are pointing the capsule directly at the subject, as off-axis audio will sound hollow due to the super-cardioid design.
To install, simply release the locking mechanism on your compatible Zoom recorder, slide off the existing capsule, and align the pins of the SGH-6 before sliding it until it clicks into place. This device is compatible with Zoom models including the H5, H6, and Q8. For care, keep the microphone capsule stored in a protective case when not in use to prevent damage to the delicate internal diaphragms. If the windscreen becomes dirty, gently hand wash it with lukewarm water and mild detergent, then allow it to air dry completely before reattaching. Avoid exposing the capsule to extreme humidity or liquid spills, as the internal preamp circuitry is sensitive to moisture.
