Compact Mic with 8 Recording Modes
Completely redefines shotgun microphone performance with beamforming technology that provides the world's first eight dial-selectable audio recording modes in a compact microphone with outstanding versatility and audio quality.
Versatile with Superb Sound
The ECM-M1 uses beamforming 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.
Simple Controls
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.
Outstanding Audio Quality
Digital signal processing
The ECM-M1 features a complete digital pathway, from beamforming control, to noise filtering and interfacing with the camera. The result is the clearest sound possible, for everything you capture.
Digital noise cut filter
Continuous background noise is effectively suppressed by a digital noise-cut filter for clear sound recording. A low-cut filter is also provided to reduce wind noise, the hum of air conditioning, and other low-frequency vibration noise. Suppressing noise at the recording stage reduces workload during post processing, enhancing overall efficiency.
Digital audio interface
The digital audio interface offers an all-digital signal path from microphone to camera, avoiding the noise and distortion associated with analogue transmission, and retaining the full benefit of the digital signal processing in the microphone.
Versatile, Portable, and Connected
Compact and light weight
The impressively compact size (length 64.4 mm4) and light weight (65 g4) 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.
Omnidirectional backup safety recording
On compatible cameras, while channels 1 and 2 record with the selected directivity pattern, channels 3 and 4 can make omnidirectional backup safety recordings at different sensitivities (–20 dB for channel 4).
Easy camera connection
Multi Interface (MI) Shoe support allows battery- and cable-free shooting, allowing recording to start as soon as the microphone is attached to the MI Shoe on compatible cameras.
Supplied wind screen
The ECM-M1 is supplied with an effective fur-type wind screen, easily detachable, that can reduce wind noise when shooting outdoors.
Simple switch operation
Comprehensive, clearly marked controls make it easy to adjust and confirm all microphone settings at a glance for worry-free operation.
Dust and moisture resistant design
The ECM-M1 features a dust and moisture resistant design that allows reliable operation in challenging outdoor conditions.
