ECM-FT5

Electret Condenser Microphone

A new flat-shape lavalier microphone,
omni-directional and ultra-miniature

MAIN FEATURES

■ High Audio Quality

The metal body of Sony’s ECM-FT5 offers increased
durability and improved audio quality by blocking
vibration and resonance. Another advantage of the
metal construction is it shields the microphone,
blocking RF noise interference.

■ Easy to Hide

The slim 4.9-mm profile of the ultra-miniature
ECM-FT5 is designed to be easily concealed under
clothing, and its sleek contours help prevent noise
pick-up from garments.

■ Water-resistant Design

A moisture-repellent screen covers the mic aperture to help prevent
sweat and dampness from entering the case.

■ Reliable Interface Options

The ECM-FT5 offers two
connection types for use with
Sony’s wireless transmitters.

■ Supplied Accessories

The supplied accessories support a variety of
uses.

Tie Clip:

Use to attach the mic to clothing by clipping
on a pocket, button hole, or other suitable
parts of a garment

Taping Mount:

Use to attach the mic directly to fabric
surfaces

Wind Screen:

Use to suppress strong wind noise

Carrying Case:

Use to carry the ECM-FT5 and accessories
