With over five million professional ECM microphones produced, the ECM-44 is an affordable general voice model. It offers excellent sound quality and is widely used in business presentations and TV production. This ECM-44BC model has a 4-pin locking plug for bodypack transmitters using the SMC9-4P connector.
It's a convenient alternative to traditional hand-held mics. Being hands-free, it lets presenters focus on their performance. Whether in front of the camera or at a business event, it creates a professional look. It's also easy to use and helps achieve good voice pick-up, thanks to its capsule designed for general voice with mid-frequency emphasis and suitable frequency response.
Key features include a capsule with an emphasis curve for voice pick-up, compatibility with SMC9-4P bodypack transmitters, and a compact size (8.5mm in diameter and 14.5mm long).
Technical specs: It has an electret condenser capsule, a frequency response from 40 Hz to 15 kHz, and an omni-directional directivity. It offers good sensitivity, output impedance, dynamic range, and signal-to-noise ratio. It has low inherent noise, induction noise, and wind noise (with a windscreen). The maximum input sound pressure level is 122 dB SPL. It comes with a BC-type connector, a 3.9-foot (1.2 m) mic cable, and requires DC 1.1 V to 10.0V power, consuming 0.4 mA or less. It weighs about 24 g (0.8 oz) and comes with a urethane windscreen, a tie clip, operating instructions, and a mic case. Optional accessories are available.
Using the Sony ECM-44BC microphone is a breeze. First, connect it to your bodypack transmitter that uses the SMC9-4P connector with the 4-pin locking plug. You can then clip it onto your clothing using the provided tie - clip. When using it in front of a camera or at a presentation, make sure the microphone is close to your mouth for the best voice pick - up.
As for maintenance, keep the microphone away from extreme temperatures and humidity. After each use, gently clean the microphone capsule with a soft, dry cloth. If you're using it outdoors, always attach the windscreen to reduce wind noise.
Remember, the microphone requires a power supply between DC 1.1 V and 10.0V. Check the power source regularly to ensure it's within this range. Also, be careful when handling the mic cable to avoid any damage. If you want to enhance its performance, you can consider getting the optional windscreen pack or horizontal single - clip pack.
