The capsule of the ECM-L1 is based on the ECM-77 series, widely used and trusted by sound professionals along with Sony's other pro audio products. With the pedigree of the go-to microphone for professional broadcasters in both studios and on location, the ECM-L1 is designed to deliver professional results to a diverse range of creators.
The high rigidity and excellent damping properties of the ceramic back plate ensure superb acoustic properties as well as providing strong electrical stability for low-noise recording under a range of conditions.
The microphone capsule is enclosed in a machined brass exterior to suppress unwanted extraneous resonances and provide a clear, crisp sound.
The high-purity OFC (Oxygen-Free Copper) cable reduces transmission losses and protects the high sound quality of the recorded audio.

Lavalier microphones can be positioned closer to the speaker's mouth, for superior audio pick-up and better audio definition than can be obtained from the built-in microphones in cameras and other devices located further away.
The microphone capsule is enclosed in the highly robust external brass housing that resists deformation and protects the microphone from damage even under the rigours of on-location use.
The 2-core shielded cable suppresses extraneous noise, and its 2.2 mm diameter makes it resistant to breakage. A locking ring prevents accidental disconnection from the recording equipment.
The included metal and fur wind screens are switchable according to usage and environment. The metal screen is more visually discreet for situations when the microphone needs to be inconspicuous, while the fur screen is better adapted to reducing outdoor wind noise and interference from pop noise.
In addition to the compact size of the body, the logo on the clip is embossed instead of printed, resulting in a design that is elegant but unobtrusive when shooting. It is also ideal for business-oriented video recording.
With a 3.5 mm mini plug providing plug-in power support, the ECM-L1 is designed for an extensive range of uses, including direct connection to α™ cameras or wireless microphone transmitters, letting you clearly capture the speaker's voice on your preferred device without visually obtrusive audio equipment.
Since it can be connected to a microphone input terminal that supports general plug-in power, this unit can be used with a wide range of devices including IC recorders and smartphones. Higher-quality sound can be recorded by capturing the voice closer to the mouth with this high-performance microphone than by using the device's built-in microphone.
With our wide range of microphones including the ECM-L1, you can choose the perfect model to capture professional quality audio to suit any style, situation, or application.
