Sony ECM-L1 Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone

Pro-Quality Lavalier Mic with Plug-In Power

Offering the professional performance of the ECM-77 in a more durable, compact, and plug-in powered form factor, the Sony ECM-L1 is an omnidirectional lavalier mic ideal for creators and pro video applications. The ECM-L1 delivers high-quality sound and durability thanks to a brass capsule, ceramic back plate, and thick OFC cable.

The capsule of the ECM-L1, which borrows its design from the ECM-77, offers clear, crisp sound with a quick response. With plug-in power, rather than external power, the ECM-L1 is compatible with a wide range of common recording devices, from camera systems like Sony's own ? and FX series to portable recorders and smartphones. The common 3.5mm screw-lock plug provides further compatibility and reliability to avoid accidental pullouts. Highly compact and featuring a discreet black finish, the ECM-L1 is easy to hide on clothing during shoots.

The ECM-L1 inherits the technology of the ECM-77 to achieve high sound quality and rugged dependability. The capsule is enclosed in a machined brass casing to suppress unwanted external resonance and provide clear, crisp sound. The ceramic backplate offers a quick response and high-resolution sound with low noise.

The oxygen-free copper (OFC) cable reduces signal transmission loss. By producing a very high-purity OFC cable, the ECM-L1 provides outstanding audio recording without sacrificing audio quality.

The robust brass enclosure around the microphone capsule offers physical protection, resisting deformation and damage during use. The 2.2mm-thick OFC cable is resistant to bending and tensile stress while being difficult to disconnect, ensuring the ECM-L1 will stand up to the rigors of productions.

Unlike the related ECM-77, the ECM-L1 offers plug-in power, allowing it to be compatible with many different recording devices. Sony ? and FX-series cameras as well as any other cameras with 3.5mm inputs and plug-in power, will work perfectly. You can also use the ECM-L1 with many kinds of wireless receivers or bodybacks, field recorders, smartphones, and much more; as long as the device can provide plug-in power.

If you already have an ECM-77 or are interested in some of the accessory options provided by this lav, the ECM-L1 makes things more convenient with default support for a number of accessories common between the two mics. This includes:

• SAD-H77B horizontal lavalier tie clip
• SAD-V77B vertical lavalier tie clip
• SAD-W77BL lavalier microphone clip holder
• SAD-S77 lavalier microphone holder safety pin clip
• AD-R77B black metal windshield
• AD-C77B urethane windscreen
• AD-C77 colored windshield
