High-quality microphone capsules for clear voice recording
Despite its compactness and light weight, the ECM-S1 is equipped with three large-diameter (14 mm) microphone capsules that provide clear, high-quality sound recording with a flat frequency response, particularly in the low-mid-range voice band, while suppressing noise. Great sound quality makes a huge contribution to the overall impression made on viewers by well-produced video.
Low intrinsic noise levels deliver clear sound
The low intrinsic noise and wide dynamic range of the microphone allow clear capture of even low-level sound. Designed for streaming, the microphone is tuned particularly to capture the rich textures of the human voice near the mouth clearly and naturally.
Directivity selectable to suit the scene
Three directional sound capture modes are provided: Uni-directional, Omni-directional, and Stereo. A switch on the side of the microphone allows the user to select the appropriate directivity for the current scene or usage situation.
Noise-suppressing filter functions
A digital noise cut filter removes persistent background noise, and a low cut filter on the microphone side reduces unwanted low-frequency sound from wind, air conditioning, and vibration. Less noise reduction is needed post-production, improving workflow efficiency.
Pop guard to suppress popping noise
A pop guard is included to prevent the annoying popping sounds that can occur due to vocal plosives when the microphone is placed close to the speaker's mouth, allowing vocals, narration, and other audio to be recorded under optimal conditions.
Compact, lightweight, and easy to operate.
Compact, lightweight body design
The ECM-S1 comprises compact and lightweight1 microphone / transmitter and receiver units that provide excellent functionality with high digital sound quality. It can be used in a wide variety of environments, both indoors and outdoors with a camera.
Operability for real-time confirmation and adjustment
An independent AUDIO LEVEL dial allows real-time adjustment of the audio input level with the upper dial. In addition, the connection status between the microphone and receiver can be checked with the LINK lamp.
Supports a variety of mounting and attachment methods
The microphone can be attached to a stand during recording, and the angle of the microphone can be adjusted back and forth. Alternatively, the 1/4" thread on the bottom of the microphone can be used to mount the microphone on a tripod, or a conversion adaptor can be used to attach the microphone to a boom arm.
