Sony ECM-B1M High Performance Shotgun Microphone, Sydney

The technical details behind this microphone Sony ECM-B1M High-Performance Shotgun Microphone offers great features. It is an ultra-compact camera-mount digital shotgun microphone designed for mobile video creators working with Sony cameras equipped with the Multi Interface Shoe. Released alongside the a7R IV, which benefits from its built-in Digital Audio Interface, the ECM-B1M is able to produce its best quality by delivering a digital audio stream directly to the camera through the Multi Interface Shoe. Other Sony cameras with the standard Multi-Interface Shoe can still make use of the microphone as there is a selectable digital/analog output. The ECM-B1M is equipped with eight high-performance mic capsules and advanced digital signal processing, providing three selectable directivity patterns for a wide range of shooting and recording situations. The plug-and-play operation makes the microphone easy to use right out of the box - you can immediately start recording your Facebook Live streams, YouTube videos, and interviews, at home, in the studio, or on the go. Effective Controls for Clear Sound Record level control, analog output for compatibility with a wide range of cameras, and an attenuator that makes it easy to set optimum signal levels all add to this microphone's versatility. A low-cut filter that cuts out subsonic noise is implemented through digital signal processing, maximizing audio quality at the recording stage and thereby reducing the need for complex post-processing. Digital Sound with Low Noise When connected via the Multi Interface shoe of a compatible camera that features a built-in digital audio interface, the audio signal is directly transferred to the camera in digital form so that no degradation can occur. A simple switch also provides compatibility with a wide range of cameras using an analog interface. Super Directivity in a Compact Mic Eight high-performance microphone units work with a beam-forming algorithm to provide extremely sharp directivity that effectively rejects off-axis sound. All of this is achieved in a remarkably compact microphone that is only 3.91" in length. Three Directivity Modes Advanced digital signal processing makes it possible to offer three switchable directivity patterns: super cardioid, cardioid, and omnidirectional.
