Frequently Asked Questions - SGM-1X Azden
How do I mount the SGM-1X on my camera?
Attach the included shock mount to the microphone, then slide the mount into your camera's hot shoe. For external use, use the 3/8-inch thread adapter.
What battery does the SGM-1X require?
It requires one AAA battery (1.5 V). Alkaline batteries are recommended for best performance.
How do I switch between mono and stereo modes?
Use the switch on the microphone body. Mono mode outputs a single channel; Stereo mode outputs left and right channels for spatial recording.
What does the low-cut filter do?
The low-cut filter reduces low-frequency rumble (e.g., wind, handling noise) below 150 Hz, improving clarity in dialogue.
Is the SGM-1X compatible with smartphones?
Yes, via the 3.5 mm output. Use a TRS-to-TRRS adapter if needed, but check your smartphone's compatibility for external microphones.
How do I clean the microphone?
Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the body. For the grille, gently brush off dust. Avoid moisture and do not use solvents.
What is the maximum sound pressure level?
The SGM-1X can handle up to 120 dB SPL before distortion (1 kHz, 1% THD).
How long does the battery last?
With a fresh alkaline AAA battery, continuous use lasts approximately 100 hours.
Can I use the SGM-1X outdoors?
Yes, but use the included windscreen to reduce wind noise. For heavy wind, consider a furry windsock.
Where can I find spare parts or repair service?
Contact Azden's customer support or an authorized service center. Spare parts include the windscreen, shock mount, and battery compartment cover.
