Sony has announced their latest small and lightweight ECM-G1 microphone will be heading to selected countries in Asia Pacific from August 2022. The new shotgun mic offers high-quality sound collection, ambient sound suppression and clear frontal sound collection.
ECM-G1 has the perfect size for vlogging mic as it has a large-diameter (approx. 14.6 mm) microphone capsule. It is also ultra-light, weighing just 34 g, and very compact (W x H x D: 28.0 mm x 50.8 mm x 48.5 mm) so can be used anywhere, anytime.Â
When connected to a Sony camera equipped with the Multi Interface (MI) shoe, the cableless design also eliminates cable-transmitted vibration noise. MI Shoe support enables greater flexibility with battery-free and cable-free shooting. Power is supplied directly from the camera to the microphone so no issues with the battery running out or cables in the way – even when shooting with the vari-angle LCD monitor open horizontally.Â
You can get clearer sound with ECM-G1 thanks to super-cardioid pick up pattern, with ambient noise suppressed to ensure only wanted audio is captured. If you need to shoot indoors, ECM-G1 is highly effective at reducing echo pickup from walls and voice reverberation resulting in clear conversation sound collection. It also has optimised structure to suppress vibration noise with anti-vibration dampers.
Lastly, a recording cable is included and the microphone jack is compatible with a wide range of devices, such as cameras and smartphones, giving users the ultimate flexibility for various shooting requirements. Â
