 Great Versitle MicNov 25, 2010
By Jeremy
I've used this a few times for short films, and it's worked great for me.
I love the ability to switch the barrels to go from Omni to Directional recording.
Sound quality is great, in a blind test I am unable to tell this mic apart from a Rode shotgun we also use.
The included shock mount, windscreen, and carrying case are okay, and they get the job done, but aren't awesome. I figure those things are just icing on the cake.
Update 03-05-2012: I've had this mic for over a year and have used it hundreds of times in shotgun and omni configuration, every time I use it I am always impressed with the audio quality.
In omni configuration it's great for recording narration or voice-overs, and I have recorded hundreds of paragraphs with it.
Note that if you want to connect this mic to a video camera that does not have XLR inputs, you will probably need a pre-amp to bring the mic-level up to line level. I've used the ART USB Dual Pre 2 Channel Preamp and the TASCAM DR-40 Channel Portable Digital Recorder with great success.

 Maybe looks a little expensive....Feb 02, 2011
By Paden Bigelow, Salt Lake City, Utah
So, I thought i wouldn't want to drop 200 bones on a microphone so initially i purchased a shotgun for around $60 and with a mixer it sounded pretty good. But with my films now getting some financial backing i purchased this mic and i have been blown away with it's quality! the sound build and value are way worth more than $200 and after viewing my film in a movie theater with surround sound, (Just the premiere, not a full blown box office)the dialogue passed quality test with flying colors... highly recommended! i just picked up a second!

good choiceNov 07, 2010
By clobrda
I bought this as cheaper alternative to Senheiser and it was a good choice. so far no issues, works well and I didn't yet find any difference between this mic and my previous Senheiser. One thing - in the item description they didn't say it comes with shotgun windscreen, so I ordered one separately. Now I have two and have spent unnecessary US$ 30.

Amazing for priceMar 08, 2011
By Dom88
Great microphone, the fact that it can go from a super cardioid to a smaller microphone is really helpful. Sound quality is pretty good considering the price, most people think a sennheiser ME66 is what you should go for, but 600+ dollars and you need to buy the power adapter for phantom power...go with the Azden if you are starting out with sound or if it is within your budget. The only real issues I had was the shock mount fitting into a hot shoe on a DSLR, they should include one that can fit onto a boom pole as well. Another issue is batteries, there should be an option for phantom power as well. Otherwise fantastic product!

All in all a great Mic'sFeb 01, 2012
By S. Faris
"Net Consumer"
I compared this with the RODE and the SENHEISER, off YOUTUBE videos none the less.. I created a video using it in a real life application for a great demo go check out my youtube page Netcommercial and my Azden SGM 2X review. It demos, distance and actual applications. Not sure if I can post the links if not seek it out on youtube under Netcommercial, better then most demos out there. Everyone else showed it in a controlled environment 3 feet away (if that)
Nope they censored it... So goog youtube, then in the search of youtube put in netcommercial/azden sgm it will come up
Hit me with a thumbs up if you appreciate it.
