Well suited for instrument recording, the Sony EMC-100U is a high-resolution, small diaphragm electret-condenser microphone with low distortion and noise. The 17mm diaphragm delivers a wide and flat frequency response of 20 Hz to 50 kHz. The two-part metallic body utilizes the same noise elimination construction employed by Sony's C800G microphone, which prevents acoustic vibration and ensures low noise and clear sound.
A 30 Hz low cut filter helps tame low frequency rumble, while the -10dB pad maximizes headroom and minimizes distortion caused by transient peaks. The Sony EMC-100U ships with a microphone clip, wind screen, mic stand adapter, and carrying case.
- Ideal for Instrument Recording: Small diaphragm (17mm) microphone capsule with a cardioid pick up pattern delivers the authentic sound of instruments with extremely low distortion
- Flat and Wide Frequency Response: The ECM-100U microphone has a flat and wide frequency response (20 Hz to 50 kHz) and provides professional sound reproduction quality for high-resolution audio
- Noise Elimination Construction: Two-part metallic body structure originally employed in the C-800G microphone prevents acoustic vibration, resulting in low noise and clear sound
- Low-Cut Filter: Low-Cut filter switch helps eliminate low-frequency noise and proximity effect
- Pad Switch: -10dB pad switch on ECM-100U microphone provides added headroom and minimizes distortion caused by transient peaks
