Phantom powered; XLR output
Slim 7-inch cylinder design
40 Hz to 40 kHz frequency response
Lightweight machined aluminum construction
Ultracompact Audio Capture. The phantom-powered Sony ECM-778 Compact Supercardioid Shotgun Microphone prioritizes clear capture audio without the hassle of multiple cables and heavy additions to your build. Its supercardioid polar pattern picks up front-facing audio, like scripted dialogue or acoustic music sets. This polar pattern, combined with the extended 40 Hz to 40 kHz frequency response and machined brass acoustic tube, delivers neutral, sharp, high-resolution results.
Minimize, Expand, More. Capable of both boom mounting and direct camera attachment, the ECM-778 is built to minimize frequencies and directivity variations at different recording distances to deliver high quality audio without ambient noise. Superior-quality film capacitors and metal film resistors in the signal path are designed to expand sonic clarity and accuracy, while conductive polymer aluminum solid capacitors in the power supply are designed to minimize circuit size and deliver high-capacity and wide dynamic range.
Built To Deliver. Thanks to its machined aluminum exterior, the ECM-778 protects the capsule from vibrations, electrical noise, and accidents. The entire microphone is just 7-inches long and 3.6 ounces, making it a lightweight and easy addition to your production. Two foam and fur windscreens are included to add a layer of protection against exterior noises, but to further ensure intelligible audio capture, you can quickly access and enable the low-cut switch!
