Sony ECM-B10 Shotgun Microphone

Capture crystal-clear speech, interviews, ambience, or nature sounds with the Sony ECM-B10 Shotgun Microphone a camera-mount digital shotgun microphone designed for on-the-go content creators, podcasters, and videographers using Sony cameras equipped with the Multi Interface Shoe (MI). Combining digital signal processing with advanced beamforming technology, the mic delivers superdirectional performance in a remarkably compact package that provides flexibility and mobility, even in gimbal and grip-mounted shots. The ECM-B10 offers three types of pickup patterns in a single mic. For selfies and interviews, use the superdirectional pattern to tightly focus audio capture on a single subject directly in front of the camera. Switch to the unidirectional pattern for a wider shot or if you have two subjects on camera. The omnidirectional setting captures audio in a 360° field around the mic, making it a smart choice to pick up environmental sounds and voices from behind the camera. Key Features of the Sony ECM-B10 Shotgun Microphone Content Creator, Podcaster, Videographer Advanced Beamforming Technology 3.1" Compact Design DSP with Auto Level & Noise Suppression Cable-Free and Battery-Free Operation For Sony Cameras with MI Shoe Super/Uni/Omni Pickup Patterns Digital Audio Transmission to Camera Shock- and Vibration-Resistant Design Dust-/Moisture-Resistant, Windscreen 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 as well as noise reduction. In-body digital conversion also helps to reduce noise inside the microphone. Direct digital audio transmission to the camera eliminates signal degradation, supplying pristine in-camera audio recordings 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 cameras 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 mic capsules. Digital signal processing using beamforming technology achieves high-quality audio with three switchable directivities, providing three microphones in one, including superdirectivity Your Choice of Three Pickup Patterns Choose the most suitable pickup pattern with an easy-to-reach, three-way switch on the rear panel of the microphone. Quickly switch back and forth among the three pickup patterns, giving you the flexibility to adapt to your shooting requirements. Superdirectional: Focused Front Area Ideal for selfies or interviews, the superdirectional pattern collects sound from a focused area in front of the microphone, effectively suppressing sounds from off-axis and behind the camera. Unidirectional: Wide Frontal Range Perfect for multiperson conversations, the unidirectional pattern captures sound from a wide field in front of the microphone, while minimizing pickup from behind. Omnidirectional : Sound from Any Direction The omnidirectional pattern picks up audio equally from all directions, useful for recording environmental sounds or the voice of the camera operator. Noise Filters, Auto-Level, Pad Controls on Intuitive, Easily Visible Rear Panel ontrols for pickup pattern and other functions are easy to reach on the rear panel and visible at a glance for quick adjustments during shooting. The ECM-B10's noise-cut filter and low-cut filter are very effective at reducing extraneous ambient noises and cutting out low-frequency noise thro...
