ECM‑B1M Shotgun Microphone
The Sony ECM‑B1M is a compact, digital shotgun microphone designed for clear, low‑noise audio capture with compatible Sony cameras. Using advanced digital signal processing, it delivers professional sound performance without the need for cables or batteries.
Three Selectable Directivity Modes
Switch between super‑directional, unidirectional, and omnidirectional pickup patterns to match different shooting environments and recording needs.
Super‑Directional Performance in a Compact Design
Eight high‑performance microphone capsules work with a beamforming algorithm to produce highly focused audio while rejecting off‑axis sound. The compact body measures just 99.3 mm in length.
Low‑Noise Digital Audio Output
When mounted on a compatible camera with a Multi Interface Shoe, audio is transferred directly in digital form, preventing signal degradation. An analogue mode ensures compatibility with a wider range of cameras.
Cable‑Free Multi Interface Shoe Connection
The microphone mounts directly to Sony’s Multi Interface Shoe for power and audio transmission, eliminating the need for cables or batteries and maintaining a clean, lightweight setup.
Mechanical Noise Suppression
Integrated shock and vibration damping reduces handling noise, while the cable‑free design eliminates mechanically transmitted noise from connectors.
Low‑Cut Filter for Cleaner Audio
A built‑in digital low‑cut filter suppresses subsonic noise at the recording stage, reducing the need for extensive post‑processing.
Manual Controls
- Record level adjustment.
- Analogue output for broader camera compatibility.
- Attenuator for maintaining optimal signal levels.
Included Wind Screen
Supplied with a fur‑type wind screen to reduce wind noise during outdoor recordings.
