Product Features:

Eight audio recording modes

Beamforming technology combines four discrete microphone capsules with precision algorithms to maximize pickup sensitivity in the desired directions while reducing it in others. The result is an incredibly compact and versatile microphone with high performance even in challenging audio environments.

Simple controls for easy setting and operation

Simply turning a dial on the rear of the microphone allows easy, intuitive selection of pickup patterns, and a lock button in the center prevents accidental changes. Other controls are also straightforward and easy to understand and operate.

Digital noise cut filter for clear sound

The ECM-M1 features a complete digital pathway, from beamforming control, to noise filtering and interfacing with the camera. The result is the clearest sound possible, for everything you capture.

Digital audio interface

The digital audio interface offers an all-digital signal path from microphone to camera, avoiding the noise and distortion associated with analogue transmission, and retaining the full benefit of the digital signal processing in the microphone.

Mechanical noise suppression

A design that dampens shock and vibration effectively minimizes low-frequency mechanical noise.

The absence of connecting cables also means that no noise can be transmitted to the microphone mechanically via cables and connectors.

Windscreen supplied

The ECM-M1 is supplied with an effective fur-type wind screen, easily detachable, that can reduce wind noise when shooting outdoors.

New compact, lightweight design

With four mic capsules arranged in a rhombic pattern plus beamforming technology to control directivity, this advanced microphone is remarkably compact and lightweight. It is just 64.4 x 40.0 x 72.2 mm in size and weighs a mere 65 grams.

Shooting freedom and mobility

The small size of ECM-M1 keeps the overall system compact for maximum shooting freedom and mobility. It can also be easily added to gimbal or grip mounted rigs and wont extend into the frame with a wide-angle lens. Minimum rear extension means that the microphone wont block the users face, allowing unrestricted access to the camera viewfinder.

Multi Interface (MI) Shoe support for extensive shooting freedom

Multi Interface (MI) Shoe support allows the microphone to be connected to the camera without additional batteries or cables. Power is supplied to the microphone from the camera, eliminating the need to charge and monitor a separate battery. And because no cable is required, the cameras vari-angle LCD monitor can be used in any position without interference.

Backup safety recording

4-channel recording with compatible camera, with channels 3 and 4 ideally suited to making backup safety recordings. Channels 3 and 4 record safety tracks in omnidirectional mode (fixed for channel 3, and -20 dB*4 fixed for channel 4) while the main audio is recorded to channels 1 and 2 using the selected directivity pattern.

Easy operability

Comprehensive, clearly marked controls make it easy to adjust and confirm all microphone settings.

Dust and moisture resistant design

The ECM-M1 features a dust and moisture resistant design that allows reliable operation in challenging outdoor conditions.
