Sony ECM-M1 Camera-Mount Digital Shotgun Microphone

The Sony ECM-M1 Camera-Mount Digital Shotgun Microphone is an ultra-compact and lightweight shotgun microphone offering high-quality audio recording using Beamforming technology which utilizes four discrete microphone capsules. This powerhouse might be just the upgrade your audio kit needs to deliver professional sound.

The Sony ECM-M1 Camera-Mount Digital Shotgun Microphone eight modes are super directional, uni-directional, omnidirectional, super directional (rear), super-directional (front and rear), Super-directional (front/rear separate), stereo, and ultra-directional. Dial in your preferred setting for instant audio transformation. The right cardioid match can transform your sound in an instant.

Choose your desired recording controls via the Auto or Manual switch on the microphone’s rear. Auto mode on the Sony ECM-M1 Camera-Mount Digital Shotgun Microphone offers a quick, hassle-free setup, ideal for beginners or fast-paced shoots. Manual mode, however, puts you in charge. You can fine-tune settings via the volume knob and cardioid pattern selector to match your environment.

Set the switch to “Digital” for optimal signal noise reduction if your camera aligns with the mounting shoe’s audio interface. Sony cameras with direct digital input will accept the Sony M1’s digital signal, bypassing any internal conversion. This allows the microphone unit and the attached camera to communicate with each other via digital signals and provide audio recordings with minimal line noise.
