The Sony ECM-M1 Compact Camera-Mount Digital Shotgun Microphone uses beam-forming 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.

Digital signal processing for quality audio

The ECM-M1 features a complete digital pathway, from beam-forming control, to noise filtering and interfacing with the camera. The result is the clearest sound possible, for everything you capture.

Compact size and light weight

The impressively compact size (length 64.4mm) and light weight (65g) 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.
