NEW DELHI, 24 AUG: Sony India on Wednesday introduced a new shotgun microphone, the ECM-G1, that is said to be highly portable and perfect for content creators to capture high-quality audio.
It will cost you Rs 10,290 and has a large-diameter microphone capsule that collects clear sound while suppressing noise.
“The ECM-G1 is the perfect microphone for vlogging and interviews. It captures voices clearly, contains a wind screen to reduce wind noise when shooting outdoors, and has an optimised frame with anti-vibration dampers to suppress vibration noise,” the company said in a statement.
“The cableless design avoids cable-transmitted vibration noise when attached to a Sony camera with the Multi-Interface (MI) shoe,” it added.
The company claimed that ECM-super-cardioid G1’s pick-up pattern emphasises clear sound collection from in front of the camera, with ambient noise minimised to ensure only wanted audio is caught — ideal for selfie shooting.
Key Features of the Microphone:
- ECM-G1 has a 14.6 mm large-diameter microphone and super-cardioid capsule for clear voice capture, perfect for vlogging and interviews.
- Contains a windscreen to reduce wind noise when shooting outdoors.
- It has an optimized frame with anti-vibration dampers to suppress vibration noise.
- Connects to, and is directly powered from, Sony’s compatible cameras via MI (Multi Interface) Shoe, making it cable and battery free operation.
- This microphone is just 20 mm of length and weight respectively, which makes it highly portable.
Even when shooting indoors, the ECM-G1, which is available across online and offline stores, reduces echo pickup from walls and voice reverberation, resulting in clear conversation sound capture, it said.
Sony mentioned that a recording cable is included, and the microphone jack is compatible with a wide range of devices, such as cameras and smartphones, giving users the ultimate flexibility for various shooting requirements.
