Features:
- 14.6-mm large-diameter microphone capsule for clear voice capture

- Multi Interface Shoe for simple connectivity and power
- Anti-vibration design and supplied wind screen
- Flexible 3.5-mm microphone out jack
High-quality sound from a large-diameter microphone capsule:
- Despite its overall compact size, the ECM-G1 shotgun microphone is built around a large-diameter (14.6-mm) microphone capsule, designed to provide clear sound capture while effectively suppressing noise.
Ideal for clear vocal pickup:
- The ECM-G1 is particularly suitable for picking up the frequency bands characteristic of human voices. The microphone captures voices in a clear and easily audible manner for excellent recording of vlog monologues, interviews and conversations.
Super-cardioid characteristics for highly directional pickup:
- Just like larger shotgun microphones, the ECM-G1 features a super-cardioid capsule design. This focuses the audio pickup to a narrow target in front of the microphone, suppressing ambient sounds and making it perfect for vlogging and interviews.
Cable-free connection through a Multi Interface Shoe:
- The ECM-G1 connects to, and is directly powered from, Sony’s compatible cameras via an MI (Multi Interface) Shoe. In addition to simple connectivity and portability, you’ll enjoy interference and mechanical noise-free shooting, with no need for external cable connections.
Convenient battery-free operation:
- The Multi Interface Shoe of compatible cameras serves to supply power directly to the microphone, so you don’t have to worry about microphone batteries running out of charge midway through a shoot.
Shotgun microphone functionality in a compact package:
- At just 48.5 mm in length and 34 g in weight, the ECM-G1 is highly portable and ready to go wherever you’re shooting. The front of the unit won’t interfere with your shot even when you’re using a wide-angle lens, and it can fit easily into setups that include gimbals or grips.
Shock and vibration suppression:
- The ECM-G1 incorporates a shock- and vibration-suppressing design that effectively reduces low-frequency vibration noise, including noise when zooming the lens or focusing. The cable-free setup also eliminates the possibility of vibration noise being transmitted through connector cables.
-
Supplied wind screen for outdoor shoots:
- The microphone comes with a wind screen that is very effective at reducing wind noise when you’re shooting outdoors.
