Sony ECM-M1 Digital Shotgun Microphone Camera Mount

Sony ECM-M1 Digital Shotgun Microphone Camera Mount

Compact shotgun microphone with eight audio recording modes

Completely redefines shotgun microphone performance with beamforming technology that provides the world’s first eight dial-selectable audio recording modes in a compact microphone with outstanding versatility and audio quality.

Versatile and compact, with superb sound

The ECM-M1 uses beamforming technology and advanced digital processing technology to provide eight audio recording modes including stereo for outstanding versatility and superb sound quality in a wide range of video shooting situations.

Eight audio recording modes in one versatile microphone

Beamforming technology combines four discrete microphone capsules with precision algorithms, to maximise pickup sensitivity in the desired directions while reducing it in others. The result is an incredibly compact and versatile microphone with high performance even in challenging audio environments.

Simple controls for easy setting and operation

Simply turning a dial on the rear of the microphone allows easy, intuitive selection of pickup patterns, and a lock button in the centre prevents accidental changes. Other controls are also straightforward and easy to understand and operate.

Digital signal processing for quality audio

The ECM-M1 features a complete digital pathway, from beamforming control, to noise filtering and interfacing with the camera. The result is the clearest sound possible, for everything you capture.

Digital noise cut filter for clear sound

Continuous background noise is effectively suppressed by a digital noise-cut 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 noise. Suppressing noise at the recording stage reduces workload during post processing, enhancing overall efficiency.

Digital audio interface

The digital audio interface offers an all-digital signal path from microphone to camera, avoiding the noise and distortion associated with analogue transmission, and retaining the full benefit of the digital signal processing in the microphone.
