The Sony ECM-B1M is a compact yet highly versatile shotgun microphone designed to elevate your on-camera audio recording experience. Despite its small size-just under 4 inches long-this microphone packs a host of powerful features that cater to videographers and content creators seeking professional-grade sound. The ECM-B1M offers three switchable directivity patterns: super-directional, unidirectional, and omnidirectional. Thanks to advanced digital signal processing and an innovative beamforming algorithm powered by eight high-performance microphone units, users can fine-tune audio capture to suit a variety of shooting environments-from tightly focused interviews to ambient soundscapes.
Engineered for seamless integration with Sony's ? series cameras, the ECM-B1M connects via the Multi Interface Shoe, eliminating the need for external cables or batteries. This design not only reduces setup complexity but also ensures digital audio transmission for pristine sound quality. Additional thoughtful features include a low-cut filter to minimize subsonic noise, an advanced shock and vibration suppression structure to reduce handling noise, and a fur-type windscreen for effective wind noise reduction during outdoor shoots. Built-in level control and an attenuator further enhance recording flexibility, making this microphone an excellent all-in-one audio solution for both novice and professional users alike.
