The Sony ECM-L1 lavalier microphone is designed for the reliability and quality demands of professional use, based on Sony’s time-tested audio technology. The 3.5-mm mini plug supports plugin power for wide compatibility, along with a capsule made for clear voice pick-up.
High sound quality from ECM-77 series industry-lauded capsule technology
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.
Ceramic back plate for high sound quality
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.
Machined brass exterior provides clear, crisp sound
The microphone capsule is enclosed in a machined brass exterior to suppress unwanted extraneous resonances and provide a clear, crisp sound.
OFC cable for reduced transmission losses
The high-purity OFC (Oxygen-Free Copper) cable reduces transmission losses and protects the high sound quality of the recorded audio.
Lavalier microphones ideal for voice recording
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.
Robust exterior housing
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.
Durable and reliable cable with locking ring
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.
Choose from two types of included wind screens
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.
Unobtrusive design
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.
