10. Zoom SGH-6 Shotgun with fur windscreen
The SGH-6 shotgun capsule is a directional microphone for the Zoom H6 recorder with a supercardioid pattern, making it perfect for use in film, video, or theater, especially for interviews.

This is particularly true for interviews, where the microphone should not be visible in the camera's field of view. If the distance to the audio source exceeds three meters during recording, this distance will increasingly be audible in the sound image, which must be taken into account before recording.
Details:
- Pattern: Supercardioid
- Easily attaches to the H6
- Very directional pickup over longer distances possible
- 5-volt preamplifier to minimize distortion even at high volumes
