Part of Ni-Go-Maru Series

Affectionately known in Japan as “Ni-Go-Maru” (Japanese for “250”), the Azden 250 Series is a collection of four professional XLR shotgun microphones, each designed with a particular video application in mind.  

Full-Sized Sound in a Compact Package

Azden designed their short shotgun microphones so to preserve a full-sized acoustic barrel. Which means you can expect the same focused pickup and side-noise rejection.

Frequency response, dynamic range, and low-noise performance are equal as well, since all of Azden’s 250 Series are equipped with the same high-quality microphone element.

A shorter overall length of just 6-inches is achieved by including a conveniently attached, professional-grade output cable, which moves the male XLR connector outside the body of the mic, and eliminates the need for a rigid, female XLR connector to stick out of the end of the mic.

Compact shotgun mic with mini XLR connector

Perfectly suited for mounting on compact cinema cameras equipped with Mini XLR inputs, such as the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Cameras (4K, 6K, 6K Pro) or the Canon C70.

SGM-250CX

As Good As They All Say

"I tested this mic with my Panasonic GH5 and sound module and the sound is fantastic. Rich and velvety with great directionality. The mic is so sensitive that it actually picked up the vibrations in my fingers through the camera body during handheld testing so be aware of this when u go handheld."

An impressive and compact BMPCC 4k accessory.

"Probably the best option for the 4k cinema camera, with the mini XLR, and the fact the it's perfect for the TILTA cage, and the performance is almost as good as mics that cost 5 x the amount. Great stuff. "
