Sony’s new beam forming shotgun microphone

Sony India introduced a new beam forming shotgun microphone, the ECM-B10. This new microphone features Sony’s industry-leading sharp directivity and digital signal processing, known to the ECM-B1M, in a remarkably compact form factor. The ECM-B10 applies digital signal processing to the sound collected by four high-performance microphone capsules using beam forming technology.


The microphone offers three types of directivity in a single product, allowing the user to easily switch between super-directional, unidirectional and omnidirectional. It offers crystal clear sound collection with effective noise suppression. It pairs with cameras that are equipped with a MI Shoe, either analogue or for best results; with cameras with a digital audio interface. It also includes ATT (attenuator) switch (0/10/20 dB), FILTER switch (noise cut / low cut / off), AUDIO LEVEL dial with AUTO/MAN (manual) switch, DIGITAL/ANALOG switch. The microphone’s compact body provides flexibility and mobility, even when using gimbals and grips. It’s design is resistant to dust and moisture, which allows for worry-free outdoor shooting when combined with a similarly dust and moisture resistant body and lens.


The ECM-B10 will be available across all Sony Centers, Flagship stores, Sony portal, Amazon and major electronic stores across India at 19,290/- from 11th July 2022 onwards.
