Sony ECM-B1M Digital Audio Shotgun Microphone in More Detail

Three Directional Sound Capture Modes

Advanced digital signal processing makes it possible to offer three switchable directivity patterns in one versatile microphone: super-directional, unidirectional, and omnidirectional.

Super-directivity In A Compact Mic

Eight high-performance microphone units work with a newly developed beam-forming algorithm to provide extremely sharp directivity that effectively rejects off-axis sound. All of this is achieved by Sony in a remarkably compact microphone that is only 99.3mm in length.

Great 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 analogue interface.

Cable-free Connection

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. Sony’s Multi Interface Shoe offers intelligent connectivity and control for a variety of accessories, providing maximum flexibility and mobility for system shooting.

A selection of Sony mirrorless cameras, which support the Multi Interface Shoe include:

Mechanical Noise Suppression

An advanced shock and vibration suppressing design effectively minimises low-frequency, or handling, noise that can degrade audio quality. The absence of connecting cables also means that no noise can be transmitted to the microphone mechanically via cables and connectors.

Effective Filter For Clear Sound

A low-cut filter that cuts out subsonic noise is implemented through digital signal processing, maximising audio quality at the recording stage and thereby reducing the need for complex post processing.

Essential Controls

Record level control, analogue 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. This level of control can contribute to smooth, stress-free post production.

Wind Screen Supplied

The ECM-B1M is supplied with a fur type wind screen that can reduce wind noise when shooting outdoors.

Alternative options

Sony designs a range of camera microphones to choose from alongside this model, including the Sony ECM-LV1 Stereo Lavalier Microphone for a lapel-type audio solution and the flagship XLR-K3M Adapter Kit And Microphone, which boasts two XLR/TRS combo connectors and one 3.5mm stereo mini jack.
