Outstanding Sound Quality
The ECM-VG1 features exceptionally natural, interference-free sound reproduction. It has a flat, wide frequency response (40 Hz to 20 kHz), outstanding sensitivity of -33 dB (0 dB=1 V/Pa), and a low self-noise level of under 18 dB SPL.
Compact and Extremely Lightweight Design with Metal Housing
Thanks to its lightweight construction, the ECM-VG1 is well-balanced even when mounted on compact camcorders.
Integrated Low-Cut Filter
The built-in low-pass filter (two positions: M, V) allows for easy reduction of unwanted ambient noise.
External Power Supply via DC (40 to 52 V)
With an external power supply of 48 V, the ECM-VG1 achieves electronically balanced operation.
Innovative Windshield
The innovative windshield included with the ECM-VG1 features an internal frame for secure attachment. This design maintains a distance between the microphone and the outer side of the windshield, effectively suppressing loud wind noise. Additionally, the windshield protects the ECM-VG1 from handling noise in challenging environmental conditions, such as those encountered during outdoor shoots.

Source: Digitec GalaxusFor once, the VG 1 lifts the supplied accessories to second place. In terms of performance, it is more akin to the CG 50 duo from the prosumer world, but the clever, newly designed windscreen makes the difference. This makes it a classy entry-level shotgun on XLR camcorders like AX 2000, NX 5, EX 1(R) or EX 3 or comparable Canon and Panasonic types.
