Sony ECM-778 Compact Supercardioid Shotgun Microphone

The Sony ECM-778 is a professional-grade shotgun microphone engineered for high-resolution audio capture in film, broadcast, and content creation. Compact and versatile, it can be mounted on a boom or camera and delivers clean, natural sound with crisp highs and a full, balanced low-midrange. Its ultracompact electret-condenser design makes it ideal for capturing dialogue, ambient environments, and acoustic instruments with clarity and precision. Focused Directivity, Smooth Off-Axis Response Featuring a supercardioid pickup pattern and finely tuned phase interference system, the ECM-778 captures clear audio from the front while rejecting side and rear noise. Its advanced off-axis response ensures natural-sounding results even when the source moves or environmental conditions change. Consistent Audio at Varying Distances The ECM-778 maintains stable frequency and directivity performance across a wide range of recording distances. Whether boom-mounted in a tight space or attached to a camera in the field, it provides accurate, high-quality sound without compromise. Compact, Durable, and Lightweight At just 7 inches and 3.6 oz, the ECM-778 is ideal for mobile productions. The humidity-resistant machined aluminum chassis offers a lightweight yet rugged shell that shields the mic from vibration and electrical interference, all while keeping a low profile for handheld or on-camera use. Professional Features for Any Environment A low-cut filter switch on the mic body provides wind and rumble reduction at the source, and two included windscreens (foam and fur) allow you to adapt for indoor or outdoor conditions. Internally, premium film capacitors and resistors deliver ultralow noise and high dynamic range with minimum circuit size.
