Sony Compact Camera-Mount Digital Shotgun Microphone

Capture crystal clear speeches, interviews, environments or sounds of nature with the Sony ECM-B10, a camera-mount digital shotgun microphone designed for content creators, podcasters and moving videographers using Sony cameras equipped with Multi Interface Shoe (MI) . Combining digital signal processing with advanced beamforming technology, the microphone delivers super-directional performance in a remarkably ultra-compact package that offers flexibility and mobility, even when shooting with gimbal and grip. The ECM-B10 offers three types of pickup patterns in a single microphone. For selfies and interviews, use the super-directional model to focus audio capture on a single subject directly in front of the camera. Switch to one-way pattern for a wider shot or if you have two subjects on camera. The omnidirectional setting captures audio in a 360 ° field around the microphone

High quality recording and digital transmission to your camera
The ECM-B10 converts analog sound to digital within the microphone body and performs digital signal processing using Sony's unique algorithms, enabling three directional pickup patterns and noise reduction. In-body digital conversion also helps reduce noise inside the microphone.

Direct digital audio transmission to the camera eliminates signal degradation, providing pristine audio recordings in the camera without the noise and hiss common to analog preamps found in many cameras.

A simple digital / analog switch also provides compatibility with a wide range of cameras using an analog interface. The ECM-B10 is compatible with a7R IV, a7C, ZVE10 and other Sony products with MI (Multi Interface Shoe) that support digital audio.

Advanced beamforming technology
The ECM-B1M is equipped with four high-performance microphone capsules. Digital signal processing using beamforming technology achieves high quality audio with three switchable directivities, providing three microphones in one, including super directivity.

Your choice of three pickup models
Choose the right pickup model with an easy-to-reach three-way switch on the microphone rear panel. Quickly switch back and forth between the three shooting models, giving you the flexibility to adapt to your shooting needs.

Superdirectional: focused frontal area
Ideal for selfies or interviews, the super-directional pattern collects sound from a focused area in front of the microphone, effectively suppressing off-axis and behind-the-camera sounds.

Unidirectional: wide front range
Perfect for multi-person conversations, the one-way pattern captures sound from a wide field in front of the microphone, minimizing rear-facing footage.

Omnidirectional: sound from any direction
The omnidirectional pattern collects audio evenly from all directions, useful for recording ambient sounds or the voice of the camera operator.
