Sony has recently launched the ECM-L1, a lavalier microphone that supports 3.5 mm plug-in power, set to deliver higher-quality sound options for the rise in video content creation. It was developed based on the ECM-77 series, which have been highly regarded for many years by professionals, including broadcasting studios and production companies.
The capsule’s fixed electrode plate is made of a rigid ceramic. Its superior vibration properties deliver excellent sound quality with good rise time and high resolution. Also, the microphone capsule is covered with a machined brass exterior to suppress unnecessary external resonance, enabling clear, crisp sound pickup. Along that, the high-purity OFC (oxygen-free copper) cable reduces audio transmission loss without compromising high sound quality.
Sony also uses a durable brass housing to protect ECM-L1 against wear and tear, even under rough usage at shooting sites. In addition, the 2.2 mm diameter cable is resistant to breakage and a locking ring is used at the connection point with the recording device to prevent the connector from accidentally coming loose.
ECM-L1 includes two types of windscreens to reduce wind and pop noise: metal and faux fur. For a more discreet aesthetic you can select the metal option, or depending on the shooting scenario, the additional wind noise reduction of the faux fur option is available.
The lavalier microphone has plug-in power, where power is supplied from the connected device. It can connect to a wide range of devices equipped with a 3.5 mm microphone input terminal, such as cameras, smartphones, wireless microphones, IC recorders, and computers, allowing high-quality audio recording to suit the many types of use cases.
Availability
The ECM-L1 will be available in Malaysia from October 2024.
