Overview

The Zoom SGH-6 Shotgun Microphone Capsule is engineered for content creators and audio professionals who need directional sound capture without the bulk of a full-length shotgun microphone. By combining three internal microphone elements with onboard digital signal processing, the SGH-6 produces a super-cardioid polar pattern that focuses tightly on the sound source directly ahead while rejecting ambient noise from the sides and rear. The result is broadcast-quality dialogue and environmental audio pickup in a capsule that is roughly half the length of a conventional shotgun mic — a significant advantage when working with compact camera rigs or handheld recorder setups.

Designed to connect directly to the capsule input on compatible Zoom recorders including the H5, H6, Q8, U-44, F1, F4, F8n, and F8, the SGH-6 requires no cables, phantom power, or external preamps. This plug-and-play simplicity makes it ideal for film production, video shoots, electronic news gathering, and field interviews where setup speed matters. The included foam windscreen provides basic wind protection for outdoor use, and the capsule's low profile keeps it out of the frame when top-mounted on a recorder. For professionals already invested in the Zoom recorder ecosystem, the SGH-6 adds a highly portable, directional recording option that complements the built-in X/Y capsules that ship with most Zoom recorders.
