The ECM-M1 Shotgun Microphone is one of the latest products by Sony. Combined with versatility and compactness, this microphone excels in delivering exceptional sound quality.
By utilizing beamforming technology and advanced digital processing, the ECM-M1 offers eight different audio recording modes which ensures versatility and superb sound reproduction across various video shooting scenarios. It is currently priced at ₹33,000 in the Indian market and is available on Sony India’s official website.
Features
The beamforming technology combines 4 discrete microphone capsules with precision algorithms in order to maximize pickup sensitivity in the desired directions while reducing it in others.
The result is an incredibly high performance even in challenging audio environments. A dial that allows an easy and intuitive selection of pickup patterns is provided on the rear side of the microphone.
Simply align the dial pointer with the desired pickup pattern. A lock button in the center of the dial allows the dial to be locked to prevent accidental changes.
This microphone supports four-channel recording on compatible cameras, with channels 3 and 4 able to make omnidirectional backup safety recordings. These channels can record safety tracks in omnidirectional mode while the main audio is recorded to channels 1 and 2 using the selected directivity pattern.
This microphone is able to cut out distracting background noise effectively through a digital noise-cutting filter for clear sound recording. A low-cut filter is also provided to reduce wind noise, the hum of air conditioning, and other low-frequency vibration.
While mounted on a Multi-Interface (MI) Shoe equipped with a digital audio interface, the audio is directly transmitted to the camera in the digital domain.
The comprehensive and clearly marked controls make it easy to adjust and confirm all microphone settings at a glance for a worry-free operation with the Sony ECM-M1 shotgun microphone.
