The SGV-6 Vocal Mic is a shotgun microphone specifically designed for vocals, which suppresses the sound of accompanying instruments or other background noises that would bleed through with conventional microphones, thereby isolating the voice. This is achieved through the use of three microphone elements and specialized signal processing that ensures only your voice is captured. As a result, vocal processors like the Zoom V6 and V3 models can modulate your voice with unprecedented accuracy. The microphone's sensitivity is -46 dB/Pa at 1 kHz for each of the three microphone units, with a maximum sound pressure level of 140 dB SPL.
