Sony Launches Shotgun Microphone ECM-G1

13/07/2022

Sony introduces the new small and lightweight ECM-G1 microphone that enhances the standard of video recording through high-quality sound collection. With ambient sound suppression and clear frontal sound collection, users can enjoy excellent sound quality when capturing content.

Enhance standard of video recording with high quality sound

Clear, high-quality sound plays an important role when capturing content for video. The ECM-G1 boasts a large-diameter (approx. 14.6mm) microphone capsule, providing clear sound collection whilst suppressing noise, greatly improving quality of video production.

The ECM-G1 is the perfect microphone for vlogging as it captures clear voices, includes a wind screen to reduce wind noise when shooting outdoors and has an optimised structure to suppress frequency vibration noise with anti-vibration dampers. When connected to a Sony camera equipped with the Multi Interface (MI) shoe, the cableless design even eliminates cable-transmitted vibration noise.

Ambient sound suppression and clear frontal sound collection

Clear sound collection from in front of the camera is emphasized with super-cardioidi and ambient sound suppressed to ensure only wanted audio is captured great for selfie shooting. Even when shooting indoors, the ECM-G1 is highly effective at reducing echo pickup from walls and voice reverberation resulting in clear conversation sound collection.

Enjoy high quality sound anywhere, anytime

MI Shoe support enables greater flexibility with battery-free and cable-free shooting. The power is supplied directly from the camera to the microphone so no issues with the battery running out or cables in the way even when shooting with the vari-angle LCD monitor open horizontally.

The ECM-G1 is ultra light, weighing just 34 g, and very compact (W x H x D: 28.0mm x 50.8mm x 48.5mm) so can be used anywhere, anytime.

Lastly, a recording cableii is included for ease and microphone jackiii is compatibleiv with a wide range of devicesv , such as cameras and smartphones, giving users the ultimate flexibility for various shooting requirements.

Pricing and Availability

The new ECM-G1 will be available in August 2022 at a variety of Sony's authorised dealers, for an estimated retail price of £145/ 170.

A product video of the new microphone can be viewed HERE.

Sony is striving for a zero environmental footprint, with our Road to Zero initiative. Plastic in the packaging has been replaced with paper for over 1.4 million productsvi.
