Sony ECM-B1M Camera-Mount Digital Shotgun Microphone

Take your videography to the next level with the ECM-B1M Camera-Mount Digital Shotgun Microphone, a revolutionary audio solution designed for high-quality sound capture. This compact microphone, measuring approximately 99.3mm (4 inches) in length, is equipped with eight high-performance mic capsules and advanced digital signal processing. This technology allows you to select from three directivity patterns: super-directional, unidirectional, and omnidirectional, making it a versatile tool for various shooting scenarios.The ECM-B1M's innovative beamforming algorithm and multiple microphone units deliver super-directivity in a compact form. This feature ensures sharp directivity and effective off-axis sound rejection, enhancing the clarity of your audio capture. When connected to a compatible camera via the Multi Interface Shoe, the ECM-B1M transfers audio directly in digital form. This direct digital connection eliminates the risk of noise or degradation, ensuring the highest possible audio quality. The ECM-B1M is also designed with mechanical noise suppression. Its advanced shock and vibration suppressing design minimizes handling noise that can compromise audio quality. Plus, the absence of connecting cables prevents noise transmission via cables and connectors, further enhancing sound clarity.This camera-mount digital shotgun microphone also features a low-cut filter implemented through digital signal processing. This filter cuts out subsonic noise, maximizing audio quality at the recording stage and reducing the need for complex post-processing.The ECM-B1M is designed for cable-free connection. Simply clip the microphone into the Multi Interface Shoe on a compatible camera for direct power and audio connections without the need for extra cables or batteries. The microphone comes with a fur-type wind screen that reduces wind noise when shooting outdoors. It also features essential controls like record level control, analog output for compatibility with a wide range of cameras, and an attenuator for setting optimum signal levels. These features contribute to a smooth, stress-free post-production process. Experience a leap forward in on-camera mics with the ECM-B1M Camera-Mount Digital Shotgun Microphone.
