Reach out and record
Capture the sound of distant subjects effectively and beautifully with Sony shotgun
microphones. Sony mics deliver superb fidelity, reliability and versatility. A choice of
four models enables you to match the mic to your camcorder and your application.
Whether you’re shooting news, events, indie films or documentaries; whether you’re in
the studio or in the field; whether you’re mounting the mic to a camcorder or a boom
pole; Sony shotgun microphones excel.
Sony and microphones
Sony has a long and deep heritage in mics. In
1957, our classic C-37A condenser microphone
took the recording industry by storm, rapidly
becoming a fixture in the major studios of Los
Angeles and New York. In the 1960s, our electret
condenser designs became de facto standards in
lavaliers and shotguns. Today Sony is a technology
leader in digital wireless microphones, transmitters
and receivers. Of course, Sony is also a world
leader in professional camcorders, making Sony
shotgun mics a perfect fit for Sony camcorders.
Advanced Electret Condenser
capsules
Every microphone in the series takes advantage
of Sony’s latest-generation Electret Condenser
capsule for excellent performance in both
field and studio productions. Sensitivity is as
high as -28 dB (ECM-678) while inherent noise
is reduced to a minimum, as low as 16 dB SPL
(ECM-678). Combined with Sony’s super cardioid
pickup pattern, this performance enables you to
successfully capture even faint sounds at long
distances with excellent quality.
Compact design
Every microphone in the series is a slender 13/16
inches in diameter (about 20 mm ). And the
compact ECM-673 is just 7-7/8 inches long (200 mm).
Durable and reliable
Sony knows what happens in a typical day in
production and news. We know you don’t always
have the opportunity to baby your equipment, to
handle it carefully or fully protect it in transit. With
robust mechanical engineering, Sony professional
mics are built to take it.
Low cut filter
To reduce ambient noise, each Sony shotgun mic
includes a two-position low-cut filter with settings
for Music (M) and Voice (V).
Wide, flat response
Professionals trust Sony for accurate sound
reproduction and these microphones deliver.
Typical on-axis frequency response is a wide 40 Hz
to 20 kHz with a smooth characteristic. The result is
open, natural sound reproduction.
