High-Quality Recording and Transmission

Using Sony's proprietary algorithms, the ECM-B10 is able to effectively reduce unwanted noise and improve directivity. In-body conversion from analogue to digital takes place within the body of the microphone to enable 3 different pickup patterns and minimise interference from technological emissions. Sony has also employed noise-cut filters to reduce extraneous ambient noises from your scene and eliminate the need for complex post-processing.

When the ECM-B10 is paired with a Multi-Interface (MI) Shoe that supports a digital audio interface, sound transmissions are just as clean as the recordings! The ECM-B10 is able to transmit audio directly as a digital signal to deliver high-quality sound free from degradation. This is the ideal feature for content creators, streamers and vloggers.

Stunning Shotgun Sound

There’s directional…and then there’s super-directional. Sony’s ECM-B10 uses advanced beamforming technology to capture sound on a narrow range in front of the camera. This technology is perfect for interviews and vlogging as sound from off-axis and behind the camera is effectively suppressed. There are also options for unidirectional and omnidirectional to suit all kinds of setups, whether you’re recording multi-person conversations or recording environmental sounds from all around.

Designed for Convenience and Reliability

One of the most exciting features of the ECM-B10 is its cable-free design. By mounting this microphone onto the MI shoe found on the majority of Sony cameras, the ECM-B10 is able to establish a connection and draw power. Not only does this eliminate the need to depend on batteries and access to power supplies, but it also effectively suppresses noises that would have been caused by shock and vibration when using cables. As a result, users benefit from unimpeded workflows with reliable and efficient audio recording.

This level of efficiency is only further reinforced by the intuitive, user-friendly rear panel featuring the microphone controls. With 5 convenient switches for choosing digital or analogue, filters, pickup patterns, ATT settings and audio levels, making quick adjustments is simple. Sony also includes an effective fur-type windscreen for reduced wind noise and dust and moisture resistance, so you can rely on the ECM-B10 even in the great outdoors.
