Product Detail
The Sony ECM - S1 is a remarkable high - performance wireless streaming microphone that offers clear, low - noise, and high - quality audio for both indoor and outdoor recording or live - streaming. It's compact and lightweight, making it extremely portable. With three large - diameter (14 mm) microphone capsules, it provides clear voice recording with a flat frequency response, especially in the low - mid - range voice band, while suppressing noise. The low intrinsic noise and wide dynamic range enable clear capture of even low - level sounds, especially the rich textures of the human voice near the mouth. It has three directional sound capture modes (Uni - directional, Omni - directional, and Stereo) that can be easily selected via a side switch according to the scene. The noise - suppressing filter functions, including a digital noise cut filter and a low cut filter, reduce background and low - frequency noise, improving post - production workflow efficiency. A pop guard is included to prevent annoying popping sounds. It features an independent AUDIO LEVEL dial for real - time audio input level adjustment and a LINK lamp to check the connection status. The built - in batteries allow long - term use; the microphone can last about 13 hours when fully charged, and the receiver can be continuously powered when connected to a camera's Multi Interface (MI) Shoe or a PC. Using Bluetooth 5.3 and a LC3plus codec, it offers low power consumption, low latency, and high sound quality, with a communication range of up to 492 ft (150 m) in good line - of - sight conditions. It supports various mounting methods like attaching to a stand, tripod, or boom arm. Connecting the receiver to a Sony camera with a Multi Interface (MI) Shoe eliminates the need for separate cables for power and audio. It can capture and transmit high - quality digital audio without degradation, providing maximum shooting freedom.
Using the Sony ECM - S1 is a breeze. First, make sure the microphone and receiver are fully charged. You can check the battery status and connection using the LINK lamp. To adjust the audio input level, simply turn the independent AUDIO LEVEL dial in real - time. When setting up, select the appropriate directivity mode (Uni - directional, Omni - directional, or Stereo) for your scene using the side switch. If there's a lot of background noise, turn on the noise - suppressing filters. The pop guard should be attached when the microphone is close to the speaker's mouth to prevent popping sounds. For mounting, you can attach the microphone to a stand, tripod, or use a conversion adaptor to attach it to a boom arm. When connecting to a Sony camera with a Multi Interface (MI) Shoe, just insert the receiver into the shoe, and you're ready to go. As for maintenance, keep the microphone and receiver clean. Wipe them gently with a soft, dry cloth. Don't expose them to extreme temperatures; the operating temperature range is from 0°C to +40°C (+32°F to +104°F). If not in use for a long time, store the microphone in a dry place and charge the battery every few months to keep it in good condition.
