The Special Edition SGM-PDII is a high-performance shotgun microphone that operates via Phantom Power (11-52VDC) only. Designed to fit right into the microphone clamp/holder of today’s high performance cameras, the SGM-PDII offers the same directional, quality sound as the popular and highly rated SGM-PII. The main difference is the SGM-PDII has a hard wired output cable while the SGM-PII terminates with an XLR connector, allowing the use of any length high performance microphone cable. Both models offer super directional sound pick-up, wide response and low noise.
