Overview
Versatile and compact, with superb sound
The ECM-M1 uses beamforming technology and advanced digital processing technology to provide eight audio recording modes including stereo for outstanding versatility and superb sound quality in a wide range of video shooting situations.
Eight audio recording modes in one versatile microphone
Beamforming technology combines four discrete microphone capsules with precision algorithms, to maximise pickup sensitivity in the desired directions while reducing it in others. The result is an incredibly compact and versatile microphone with high performance even in challenging audio environments.
Simple controls for easy setting and operation
Simply turning a dial on the rear of the microphone allows easy, intuitive selection of pickup patterns, and a lock button in the centre prevents accidental changes. Other controls are also straightforward and easy to understand and operate.
Outstanding audio quality
The latest digital audio technology delivers stunning audio performance.
Digital signal processing for quality audio
The ECM-M1 features a complete digital pathway, from beamforming control, to noise filtering and interfacing with the camera. The result is the clearest sound possible, for everything you capture.
Digital noise cut filter for clear sound
Continuous background noise is effectively suppressed by a digital noise-cut filter for clear sound recording. A low-cut filter is also provided to reduce wind noise, the hum of air conditioning, and other low-frequency vibration noise. Suppressing noise at the recording stage reduces workload during post processing, enhancing overall efficiency.
Digital audio interface
The digital audio interface offers an all-digital signal path from microphone to camera, avoiding the noise and distortion associated with analogue transmission, and retaining the full benefit of the digital signal processing in the microphone.Compact size and light weight for versatility and portability
The impressively compact size and light weight of the microphone make it incredibly versatile for a range of shooting, and a trusty addition to any gear bag.
Compact size and light weight
The impressively compact size (length 64.4 mm) and light weight (65 g) give a high degree of shooting freedom and mobility. The microphone does not intrude when shooting selfies, or when using even a very wide-angle lens. The compact size also makes it easy to use with gimbals and grips.
Easy operability and connectivity
The ECM-M1 provides controls that are easy to operate, with simple connection to compatible cameras.
Supplied wind screen
The ECM-M1 is supplied with an effective fur-type wind screen, easily detachable, that can reduce wind noise when shooting outdoors.
Omnidirectional backup safety recording on channels 3 and 4
On compatible cameras, while channels 1 and 2 record with the selected directivity pattern, channels 3 and 4 can make omnidirectional backup safety recordings at different sensitivities (–20 dB for channel 4).
Simple switch operation
Comprehensive, clearly marked controls make it easy to adjust and confirm all microphone settings at a glance for worry-free operation.
Easy camera connection
Multi Interface (MI) Shoe support allows battery- and cable-free shooting, allowing recording to start as soon as the microphone is attached to the MI Shoe on compatible cameras.
Dust and moisture resistant design
The ECM-M1 features a dust and moisture resistant design that allows reliable operation in challenging outdoor conditions.

Features
Built-in digital signal processing
The ECM-B10 incorporates built-in digital signal processing, converting analogue data to digital within the microphone body. Processing using Sony's proprietary algorithms provides sharp directivity, while a choice of three pickup patterns responds to diverse audio needs.
Shotgun mic directivity in a compact package
Four high-performance microphone capsules work with a beamforming algorithm to provide extremely sharp directivity that effectively rejects off-axis sound. All of this is achieved in a remarkably compact microphone.
Your choice of three directivity settings
Advanced digital signal processing technology makes it possible to offer three different pickup patterns in one versatile microphone. Use the control on the rear panel of the microphone to switch between super-directional, unidirectional, and omnidirectional settings, depending on the requirements of your shoot.
Super-directional: capture sound directly in front of the camera
The super-directional pickup pattern, capturing audio from a focused area in front of the microphone, is well suited to recording interviews or selfies. This mode is very effective at suppressing audio from the side and back of the microphone while emphasising sound from directly in front.
Unidirectional: capture a wide field in front of the mic
When there are more audio sources in front of the microphone, unidirectional is the best choice. This mode captures sound from a wider area in front, while still suppressing sound from behind, making it ideal for recording panel discussions or a group of musicians.
Omnidirectional: gather sound from all directions
The omnidirectional pattern has equal sensitivity in all directions. Omnidirectional pickup is well suited to the task when you want to record conversations between the camera operator and an interview subject, or general environmental sounds from the area surrounding the camera.
Clear sound with effective noise suppression
The ECM-B10's noise cut filter uses digital signal processing to minimise unwanted ambient sound, for cleaner audio. A low cut filter is also available, with easy, intuitive access from the rear panel, to reduce low-frequency noise from sources such as wind and air-conditioning units. Maximising audio quality at the recording stage in this way reduces the need for noise removal in post production, contributing to more efficient workflows.
Digital audio interface support for clear sound
The ECM-B10 is compatible with a wide range of Sony cameras. When used in combination with a camera equipped with a Multi Interface (MI) Shoe that supports a digital audio interface, audio can be transmitted directly as a digital signal, delivering high-quality sound recording without degradation.
Cable-free setup
Using the ECM-B10 with a compatible camera with an MI Shoe gives you the luxury of cable-free connection. There's no need to worry about noise being transmitted to the microphone mechanically through cables and connectors, and there are no cables to get in the way of your shot, even when shooting with the camera's vari-angle LCD monitor open horizontally.
Battery-free operation
With power supplied directly to the microphone unit through a camera's MI Shoe you can shoot as long as you like without concerns about the microphone battery running out of charge.
A compact size for better portability
At just 79.3 mm in length, the microphone is highly portable and ready to go wherever you're shooting. The front of the unit won't interfere with your shot even when you're using a wide-angle lens, and it can fit easily into setups in combination with gimbals and grips.
Intuitive operation and full operational control
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.
Supplied wind screen
The microphone comes with a wind screen that can effectively reduce wind noise when shooting outdoors.
Shock and vibration suppression
The shock- and vibration-suppressing design of the ECM-B10 effectively reduces low-frequency vibration noise. The cable-free configuration also eliminates the possibility of vibration noise being transmitted through a connector cable.
Dust- and moisture-resistant design
Suitable for outdoor shooting in any type of weather, the ECM-B10 is designed to resist dust and moisture. The absence of connector cables when used with a compatible camera also means that the camera's connector covers can remain closed, for further protection from the elements.
