Sony ECMB10

Sony ECM-B10 Shotgun Microphone

The ECM-B10 wireless shotgun microphone from Sony offers high-quality sound recording in three directional modes thanks to digital audio technology that is perfect for the Alpha system. This 3-in-1 microphone from Sony offers three polar patterns in a compact package that adapts to all needs, making this microphone ideal for interviews, vlogging and content creation. The cordless and battery-free design allows for high mobility while providing crystal clear voice recording.

3-in-1 microphone

The ECM-B10 uses beamforming technology and digitally processes the sound signals captured by the four high-performance microphone capsules. This allows users to select the sensitivity with which the microphone picks up sound from different directions, tailoring the recording to their specific needs.

Since the ECM-B10 combines three selectable polar patterns in a single microphone, users can easily switch between super-directional, unidirectional and omnidirectional polar patterns. When the super-directional polar pattern is selected, the microphone picks up sound coming directly from the front while minimizing noise from other directions.

This option is ideal for interviews, selfie recordings, and other situations where narrow front-facing sounds need to be recorded

.

Further, the ECM-B10 supports unidirectional directivity to capture sound impinging broadly from the front while minimizing sound coming from behind

.

This option is ideal when recording conversations between multiple people. For even more flexibility, users can also select omnidirectional directionality: This captures sounds from all directions with equal strength - ideal for recording ambient noise.

Crystal clear recordings

The

ECM-B10 provides crystal-clear sound recording with effective noise minimization. Using its internal digital signal processing, the ECM-B10 effectively minimizes unwanted noise to capture audio more clearly, reducing the amount of post-processing required.

The ECM-B10 connects to cameras equipped with an MI (Multi Interface) accessory shoe: either via the analog interface or, for compatible cameras, via the digital audio interface *1 to transmit audio signals in digital form directly to the camera for optimal results without quality loss. In addition, the microphone design, which is designed to suppress shock and vibration, effectively minimizes low-frequency vibration noise.

Since no connecting cables are required, no unwanted noise is transmitted to the microphone via cables. The included windscreen reduces wind noise, ensuring clear sound even when recording outdoors.

For added versatility, the ECM-B10 offers the following audio adjustment options:

• ATT (Attenuator) switch (0/10/20 dB).
• FILTER (Noise Cut/Low Cut/Off) switch
• AUDIO LEVEL control with AUTO/MAN (manual) switch
• DIGITAL/ANALOG switch

Numerous practical features

The microphone's compact body provides flexibility and mobility, even with gimbal use and use of grips. Since the ECM-B10 easily attaches to the MI shoe of a compatible camera, no additional cables are required. This prevents interference with a side-folding screen or external batteries and further increases shooting flexibility. The microphone is powered directly from the camera, so users don't have to worry about dead microphone batteries.

Detailed adjustments can be made via a wide range of audio settings on the back of the microphone. This allows users to check at a glance that everything is set up correctly. Since the ECM-B10 is dust and moisture resistant *2, when combined with a camera body and lens that are also dust and moisture resistant *3, trouble-free outdoor recording is possible.

High-quality sound recording

Enjoy clear sound recording and reduction of unwanted noise.

Flexible

A 3-in-1 compact microphone with true adaptability. Whether you use it as a camera microphone or for podcast equipment, it is suitable for super-directional communication (interviews or selfie vlogs), unidirectional communication (discussions with multiple participants) and omnidirectional communication (ambient noise or the user's voice).

Compact & Portable

Thanks to its compact size, the Shotgun Microphone is easy to carry and use anytime, anywhere.

Wireless and Battery-Free

The wireless microphone offers a high degree of mobility without the need for a battery or cable. Use the microphone for vlogging or content creation and don't worry about battery life on the go.

*1) The Digital/Analog switch, which allows you to select between digital and analog input type, is set to "Analog" at the factory. It is recommended to set it to "Digital" when connecting a camera with digital audio interface. If the camera has an incompatible analog connection and the ECM-B10 is set to "Digital", a warning message will appear.

*2) Complete resistance to dust and moisture is not guaranteed. Dust or water droplets on the surface of the microphone may affect recording and should be wiped off with a clean, soft, dry cloth before use.

*3) Complete resistance to dust and moisture

is not guaranteed.
