Compact microphone with excellent directivity Eight high performance microphones use a newly developed beamforming algorithm to achieve an extremely clear directivity that effectively suppresses off-axis noise. The microphone with a length of only 99.3 mm is surprisingly compact.
Excellent sound, low noise
When connected through the multi-interface accessory shoe of a compatible camera that has a built-in digital audio interface, the audio signal is transmitted directly to the camera in digital form, so no sound is lost. A simple toggle switch also allows compatibility with a wide range of cameras via an analog interface.
Mechanical noise cancellation The modern shock and vibration suppression design effectively minimizes low-frequency or handling noise that can affect audio quality. Since no connection cables are needed, unwanted noise is not transmitted mechanically via cables and connectors to the microphone.
Wireless connection Simply attach the microphone to the accessory shoe of a compatible camera for direct power and audio connections - with no extra cables or batteries. Sony's multi-interface accessory shoe provides intelligent connectivity and control capabilities for a variety of accessories for maximum flexibility and portability with ? devices.
Important controls
The control of recording levels, the analogue output for compatibility with a wide range of cameras and a damper to set the optimum signal level contribute to the versatility of this camera. These comprehensive control options can reduce the amount of post-processing.
Three directional characteristics
Advanced digital signal processing provides three selectable directional characteristics in a single, versatile microphone: super-directional, unidirectional and omnidirectional.
Supplied windbreak The ECM-B1M comes with a fur windshield that reduces wind noise when shooting outdoors.
