Product details
Sony's ECM-778 XLR directional microphone delivers broadcast-quality audio with a high-resolution frequency response that captures clear highs and a stable lower midrange for a balanced, natural sound. Its narrow supercardioid polar pattern provides focused front pickup with excellent off-axis rejection, while its compact (176 mm) and lightweight (102 g) design makes it ideal for tight boom setups or on-camera use. The robust machined aluminium housing is designed for professional field use and reduces vibration and electrical interference. The supplied foam and fur windscreens ensure reliability in all weathers. A practical low-cut filter on the housing attenuates wind and handling noise at source and ensures clear, clean recordings in any environment.
