The ECM-B1M is supplied with a fur-type wind screen that can reduce wind noise when shooting outdoors. Sony’s Multi Interface Shoe offers intelligent connectivity and control for a variety of accessories, providing maximum flexibility and mobility for α system shooting. 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 absence of connecting cables also means that no noise can be transmitted to the microphone mechanically via cables and connectors.Ī 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.
A simple switch also provides compatibility with a wide range of cameras using an analog interface.Īn advanced shock and vibration suppressing design effectively minimizes low-frequency-or handling-noise that can degrade audio quality. 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. All of this is achieved in a remarkably compact microphone that is only 3.91″ in length. Advanced digital signal processing makes it possible to offer three switchable directivity patterns in one versatile microphone: super-directional, unidirectional, and omnidirectional.Įight high-performance microphone units work with a newly developed beamforming algorithm to provide extremely sharp directivity that effectively rejects off-axis sound.
