Eight audio recording modes Beamforming8 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.

Different types of microphone directional patterns are available for various recording purposes. Super-directional microphones are great for shooting or streaming videos where the subject speaks directly in front of the microphone, while uni-directional microphones are recommended for recording conferences or meetings. Omni-directional microphones are useful when the sound of the surrounding environment needs to be recorded, and stereo microphones are ideal for music or theatrical performances. Ultra-directional microphones suppress other sounds to pick up target sounds from the front and are perfect for interviews or selfies.

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.
