Thank you for purchasing the Azden SGM-100 microphone. Designed for Video and Audio
Professionals, the SGM-100 is a directional super-cardioid shotgun microphone with a wide
frequency response and low noise levels. AZDEN new generation "microphone unit" is used
for higher sound quality.
BATTERY:
The SGM-100 is powered by 1 “AAA” battery (not included). Unscrew the lower half of the short
barrel case just below the “Power” switch by turning it counterclockwise. Install 1 fresh “AAA”
Alkaline battery, making sure to check polarity, and close the case by turning it clockwise. DO
NOT OVERTIGHTEN or you may strip the threads.
SHOCK-MOUNT HOLDER:
The SGM-100 is supplied with a shock-mount holder. This holder can be used on a camera
shoe or on a microphone stand. Push the barrel through the center of the elastic bands until it
is positioned as shown. To secure the holder to a camera shoe, slide the holder into the
camera shoe and tighten the thumbwheel by turning it clockwise. To secure the holder to a
microphone stand, screw the holder to the stand by turning it clockwise until it is tight.
NOTE: Two holes are drilled into the bottom of the holder for different diameter microphone
stand threads, choose the one that matches your mic stand or boom pole
POWER SWITCH:
The SGM-100 has a 2-position power switch.
OFF: Switch the microphone to OFF when not in use to conserve battery life.
ON: Switch the microphone to ON for normal operation.
LOW-CUT SWITCH:
The SGM-100 has a "Low-Cut" filter switch that is designed to reduce unwanted low frequen-
cies from entering the audio. This will reduce low frequency energy created from things like
air conditioner compressors. The frequency response is "Flat" when the switch is in the
position while the low frequencies are reduced when the switch in in the position.
