WHAT'S INCLUDED SGH-6 Shotgun capsule Hairy Windscreen Review: A great addition to your Zoom H5/H6 portable recording studio. A mono super-cardioid shotgun mic that does the job well enough - Having recently purchased a Zoom H5 recorder to up my interviewing and podcasting game (I'm a jobbing journalist by trade) I decided to invest in a few additional microphone modules to cover all scenarios. I wanted a shotgun mic for interview situations where a lavalier couldn't be used, and that meant my choice was between the SSH-6 (stereo mid-side) and this SGH-6 (a mono, frequency independent, super-cardioid polar pattern mic). I'm not interested in capturing ambient sound in an interview recording, quite the opposite in fact. I am interested in a highly directional pickup, and this ticks that box. You do have a relatively short shotgun here, so the further away from the source you go the less useful it becomes. Like the other mic modules from Zoom, the H5 automatically recognises the change and adapts to suit. You can tell it knows as the word 'GUN' appears on the screen. That said, you will need to make some adjustments to gain in order to overcome the noise floor of both device and mic (there's a physical gain dial on the shotgun mic itself). The included furry windshield that comes with the SGH-6 is a real bonus. Not only is it very well made, and very effective at reducing wind noise in an outdoor environment, but it represents quite a decent 'dollar value' as these things are not cheap to buy separately. The equivalent Zoom item for the standard mic modules is a Β£25 purchase! All in all, then, I'm more than happy with this mic. Sure, it's not as good as some of the bigger shotguns, but it's a portable item and works out the box to provide perfectly acceptable recordings. Best of all, it's part of a modular recording studio that you can carry around in a suitable small travel case... Review: OK part - Standard Zoom quality. Works well and not too noisy. ## Features - SHOTGUN DESIGN: Captures focused sound in noisy environments - COMPATIBILITY: Works with multiple Zoom recorders and interfaces - APPLICATIONS: Perfect for film, video, theatre and reporting - ACCESSORIES: Comes with windscreen for outdoor recording - QUALITY: Professional audio performance for demanding projects ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00E1CAHE2 | | Antenna Location | Film, Videos, Theatre, Electronic Reporting (ENG/EB) | | Audible Noise | 78 Decibels | | Best Sellers Rank | 30,578 in Musical Instruments & DJ ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments & DJ ) 437 in Condenser Microphones | | Box Contents | Shotgun Microphone Windshield | | Brand | Zoom | | Brand Name | Zoom | | Colour | Silver | | Compatible Devices | Zoom H5, H6, H8, Q8, Q8n-4k, F1, F4, F8, F8n-Pro, U-44 | | Connectivity Technology | XLR | | Connectivity technology | XLR | | Connector Type | Plug connector | | Connector type | Plug connector | | Country of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 83 Reviews | | Enclosure Material | Plastic | | Frequency Range | 20 Hz - 20,000 Hz. | | Hardware Platform | audio recorder | | Item Dimensions | 8.7 x 9.5 x 20 centimetres | | Item Highlight | Compatible with Zoom H5, H6, H8, Q8, Q8n-4k, F1, F4, F8, F8n-Pro, U-44 | | Item Type Name | Zoom SGH-6 shotgun microphone, capsule | | Item Weight | 200 Grams | | Manufacturer | Zoom | | Manufacturer Part Number | SGH-6 | | Microphone Form Factor | Shotgun | | Model Name | SGH-6 | | Model Number | SGH-6 | | Model name | SGH-6 | | Number of Channels | 1 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Polar Pattern | Hypercardioid directional pattern | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Product Warranty | 1 yr. | | Recommended uses for product | Film, Videos, Theatre, Electronic Reporting (ENG/EB) | | Signal-to-Noise Ratio | 78 dB | | Special Feature | Voice Activated Recording | | Special feature | Voice Activated Recording | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Images ![Zoom SGH-6 shotgun microphone, capsule for H5/H6/Q8 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71+NF0ULJ1L.jpg) ![Zoom SGH-6 shotgun microphone, capsule for H5/H6/Q8 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/710vXLWDQUL.jpg) ![Zoom SGH-6 shotgun microphone, capsule for H5/H6/Q8 - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/815SCXi4xeL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great addition to your Zoom H5/H6 portable recording studio.

Works well and not too noisy. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ a half talentless clown manages to get amazing sound from it *by D***L on 18 October 2017* I'm not a audiophile, sound engineer or anything, but even I, a half talentless clown manages to get amazing sound from it. However! Unless you're extremely talented audio specialist (I'm not), a Β£15 Lavalier (which I also got) will probably be completely sufficient. I was genuinely shocked how good of a job they do. So my advice from one amateur to another, Zoom 5 and the shotgun will go for some Β£350, and a Β£15-20 lavalier will probably do a very similar job. My advice to professional? You probably know this product better than I do, you know it's amazing. ## Frequently Bought Together - Zoom SGH-6 Shotgun Microphone Capsule - Movo SMM5-B Universal Microphone and Portable Recorder Shock Mount - Fits the Zoom H1n, H2n, H4n, H5, H6, Tascam DR-40x, DR-05x, DR-07x and others with a 1/4" Mounting Screw (Black) - Zoom APH-6 Accessory Pack for the Zoom H6 Handy Digital Recorder --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/48718989-zoom-sgh-6-shotgun-microphone-capsule-for-h5-h6-q8](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/48718989-zoom-sgh-6-shotgun-microphone-capsule-for-h5-h6-q8) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-09-15*
