Description
The Sony ECM-B1M Camera Mounting Accessory Shotgun Microphone is a compact microphone that offers three directivity modes: super-directional, unidirectional, and omnidirectional. Super-directivity in a compact mic allows for extremely sharp directivity that effectively rejects off-axis sound. All of this is achieved in a remarkably compact microphone that is only 99.3mm in length. The ECM-B1M is supplied with a fur type wind screen that can reduce wind noise when shooting outdoors. The ECM-B1M also has 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. This level of control can contribute to smooth, stress-free post production.
Three directivity 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
beamforming 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 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. 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. 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. Wind screen supplied The ECM-B1M is supplied
with a fur type wind screen that can reduce wind noise when
shooting outdoors. 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.
