SONY / ECM-VG1

The ECM-VG1 comes with a newly developed windscreen. The internal frame is robust and securely attached to the microphone body. This creates space between the microphone and the windscreen, which reduces strong wind noise in harsh outdoor environments while also protecting the ECM-VG1 from touch noise.

This creates space between the microphone and the windscreen, reducing strong wind noise in harsh outdoor environments while protecting the ECM-VG1 from touch noise.
■Designed with a Focus on Sound Quality
・The ECM-VG1 is a new shotgun microphone designed at a reasonable price for field and studio recording.
It achieves a flat frequency response (40Hz-20kHz) and excellent sensitivity of -33dB (0dB=1V/Pa).
It also keeps the internal noise level below 18dB SPL, providing natural sound quality.
■Metal body, lightweight, compact design
- The ECM-VG1 is an extremely lightweight shotgun microphone. This allows for effective front-to-back balance when attached to a small camcorder.
- It also allows for quick action when used on a boom.
- Built-in low-cut filter
- The built-in low-cut filter reduces unwanted low-frequency noise.
- External DC power supply (40-52V)
- The ECM-VG1 is powered by a 48V external power supply and outputs a balanced signal.
