Sony ECM-B10 Camera-Mount Digital Shotgun Microphone

If you're seeking superior audio capture for your camera, consider the ECM-B10 Camera-Mount Digital Shotgun Microphone. This compact yet powerful device offers advanced beamforming technology and digital signal processing, ensuring super-directional performance ideal for interviews, selfies, and any situation where focused sound collection is required. Despite its compact size of just 79.3 mm in length, the ECM-B10 doesn't compromise on audio quality. Its small footprint allows for ample clearance for wide-angle lenses and viewfinder use, ensuring excellent integrated audio even in gimbal- and grip-mounted shots. The ECM-B10 is equipped with a simple three-way switch on the rear panel, allowing for quick and easy switching between three pickup patterns.

This feature provides the flexibility to adapt to various shooting requirements. The super-directional pattern is perfect for interviews or selfies, focusing on the area directly in front of the microphone while effectively suppressing off-axis sounds. The unidirectional pattern is ideal for multi-person conversations, capturing sound from a wide field in front of the microphone while minimizing pickup from behind. The omnidirectional pattern, on the other hand, picks up audio equally from all directions, making it useful for recording environmental sounds or the voice of the camera operator. Sony's proprietary algorithms enable noise reduction and directivity, converting analogue sound to digital within the microphone body.

This in-body digital conversion helps to reduce noise inside the microphone, ensuring high-quality recording and digital transmission. The ECM-B10's noise cut filter, using digital signal processing, effectively reduces ambient noises, maximizing audio quality at the recording stage and reducing the need for complex post-processing. The ECM-B10 offers a cable-free connection to a wide range of Sony cameras equipped with an MI Shoe, reducing interference, noise, and complexity. Power is supplied via the MI Shoe in compatible cameras, eliminating the worry of microphone batteries running out during a shoot.

The microphone's rear panel houses controls for audio level, pickup pattern, filters, and other functions, all within easy reach and visible at a glance for quick adjustments during shooting. The ECM-B10 also comes with a detachable fur-type wind screen that effectively reduces wind noise when shooting outdoors. Designed to minimize vibration noise and resist dust and moisture, the ECM-B10 is perfect for worry-free outdoor shooting. This compact shotgun microphone, with its cable-free, battery-free configuration, is an excellent choice for shooting movies, responding to diverse audio needs with its sharp directivity and choice of three pickup patterns.

Digital signal processing and audio transmission deliver high-quality sound without degradation, making the ECM-B10 a top choice for enhancing your camera's audio capabilities.
