Lavalier microphone with pro sound quality and reliability

The ECM-L1 Lavalier microphone combines plug-in power compatibility with Sony’s time-tested audio technology to deliver clear voice recording, with the excellent sound quality and reliability that professionals demand.

Ceramic back plate for high sound quality

The high rigidity and excellent damping properties of the ceramic back plate ensure superb acoustic properties as well as providing strong electrical stability for low-noise recording under a range of conditions.

Machined brass exterior provides clear, crisp sound

The microphone capsule is enclosed in a machined brass exterior to suppress unwanted extraneous resonances and provide a clear, crisp sound.

OFC cable for reduced transmission losses

The high-purity OFC (Oxygen-Free Copper) cable reduces transmission losses and protects the high sound quality of the recorded audio.

Robust exterior housing

The microphone capsule is covered with the highly robust external brass housing that resists deformation and protects the microphone from damage even under the rigours of on-location use.

Highly reliable cable

The two-core shielded cable suppresses extraneous noise and its 2.2 mm diameter makes it resistant to breakage.

Connector with locking ring

A locking ring prevents accidental disconnection and signal disturbance.

Choose from two types of included wind screens

Two types of wind screens, a metal type and a fur type, are included and can reduce pop noise caused by breath and wind. The metal type can be used in situations where the presence of the microphone should be less noticeable, while the fur type can be used in situations where wind noise prevention is a priority.

Unobtrusive design

In addition to the compact size of the body, the logo on the clip is embossed instead of printed, resulting in a design that is elegant but unobtrusive when shooting. It is also ideal for business-oriented video recording.

Plug-in power provides wide connectivity

With a 3.5-mm mini plug providing plug-in power support, the ECM-L1 is designed for an extensive range of uses, including direct connection to α™ cameras or wireless microphone transmitters, letting you clearly capture the speaker’s voice on your preferred device without visually obtrusive audio equipment.

Connects to a wide range of non-camera devices

Since it can be connected to a microphone input terminal that supports general plug-in power, this unit can be used with a wide range of devices including IC recorders and smartphones. Higher-quality sound can be recorded by capturing the voice closer to the mouth with this high-performance microphone than by using the device’s built-in microphone.
