Zoom SGH-6 shotgun microphone for Zoom H5 and H6

Zoom's H5 and H6 are versatile handheld recorders that stand out thanks to their modular architecture: they come with various interchangeable microphone capsules. Two are included upon delivery: an X/Y and a mid-side microphone capsule. This Zoom SGH-6 shotgun microphone is an optional accessory for the Zoom H6. Remove the current microphone capsule of your Zoom H6 and attach this shotgun mic and you're ready to make hyper-directional recordings. The advantage of a shotgun microphone If you work in a film, video or live environment (theatre, reporting), a shotgun microphone is an indispensable tool. Thanks to the sensitive supercardioid pickup pattern you can make excellent recordings from a fair distance. For TV reporters this means that they can interview people without shoving their microphone into view. The highly directional pickup pattern of the SGH-6 is remarkably more efficient than that of conventional shotgun mics that use an acoustic tube method.
