ECM-CG50BP

Shotgun Micophone

Super-cardioid Directional Shotgun Microphone

The short shotgun, super-cardioid design enhances directional response
and is ideal for clean recording of medium range sound sources. Ambient
off-axis background noise is effectively rejected and only a narrow angle
pick-up range directly in front is accepted.

Built-in Low-cut Filter

The built-in low-cut filter is effective at reducing rumble from wind noise,
vibration or air conditioning, allowing the target sound source to be clearly
recorded.

Slide Switch (Power OFF/NORM (Normal)/LOW CUT (Low-cut))

Set the switch according to the sound source. The supplied wind screen
greatly reduces wind noise and breath pops.

Shock-mount Microphone Holder

The shock mount holder included with the microphone helps to reduce
vibration noise when mounted on a camcorder, which is especially helpful
for hand-held shooting in the field.

Power Supplied by Camera or Alkaline AA Battery

Plug-in power is supplied from the microphone input jack of the compatible
Sony camcorder. When used with a camcorder that doesn’t support plug-in
powering, about 900 hours of power is provided by installing a single
alkaline AA battery.
