Sony ECM-XYST1M Black Digital Camera Microphone

The Sony ECM-XYST1M stereo microphone is a compact, lightweight on-camera microphone designed to deliver clear, natural stereo sound for video production. It mounts to a camera or multi-interface shoe and provides adjustable stereo width and high sensitivity for detailed audio capture across a wide frequency range. The microphone is wired and comes in black, with a windscreen included to reduce environmental noise.

Advantages

The microphone offers adjustable recording range up to 120 degrees to control stereo width, high sensitivity with low self-noise for clearer recordings, and a compact form factor that is easy to carry and mount on a camera. An included windscreen reduces wind interference, and the wired connection provides reliable, continuous power and signal to compatible devices.

How to use

Adjust the stereo width to the desired angle (up to 120°) to suit the scene, and attach the windscreen when recording outdoors to reduce wind noise. Monitor audio levels on your camera and perform a test recording before important shoots.

Recommendations

For best results, use the microphone on devices that support the multi-interface shoe and monitor audio levels during recording. Use the windscreen outdoors and reduce handling noise by keeping the camera stable or using a tripod.
