Despite its overall compact size, the ECM-G1 shotgun microphone is built around a large-diameter (14.6mm) microphone capsule, designed to provide clear sound capture while effectively suppressing noise. [1] Built-in microphone [2] PCM-D100 [3] ECM-G1

Ideal for clear vocal pickup

Ideal for clear vocal pickup

The ECM-G1 is particularly suitable for picking up the frequency bands characteristic of human voices. The microphone captures voices in a clear and easily audible manner, for excellent recording of vlog monologues, interviews and conversations.

Super-cardioid characteristics for highly directional pickup 

Super-cardioid characteristics for highly directional pickup 

Just like larger shotgun microphones, the ECM-G1 features a super-cardioid capsule design. This focuses the audio pickup to a narrow target in front of the microphone, suppressing ambient sounds and making it perfect for vlogging and interviews.

At less than 50mm (1.97 inches) in length and 34 grams (1.4oz) in weight, the ECM-G1 is highly portable and ready to go wherever you're shooting. The front of the unit won't interfere with your shot even when you're using a wide-angle lens, and it can fit easily into setups that include gimbals or grips.

The MI Shoe of compatible cameras serves to supply power directly to the microphone, so you don't have to worry about microphone batteries running out of charge midway through a shoot.

Shock and vibration suppression

Shock and vibration suppression

The ECM-G1 incorporates a shock- and vibration-suppressing design that effectively reduces low-frequency vibration noise, including noise when zooming the lens or focusing. The cable-free setup also eliminates the possibility of vibration noise being transmitted through connector cables.
