Sony ECM100U Uni-Directional Hi-Res studio pencil mic

Sony ECM100U Uni-Directional Hi-Res studio pencil mic

Overview

The Sony ECM-100U is a Uni-directional electret condenser microphone ideal for instrument recording in studio and compatible with High-Resolution Audio. Equipped with a newly developed microphone capsule, ECM-100U delivers flat and wide frequency response of 20 to 50,000 Hz and picks up the raw sound of the instruments original features.

Features

Excellent Sound Quality
Newly developed small diaphragm microphone capsule with Uni-directional characteristics delivers authentic sound of instruments with extremely low distortion.

Flat and Wide Frequency Response
The ECM-100U microphone has flat and wide frequency response (20 Hz to 50kHz) and provides superb 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
An -10dB pad switch on ECM-100U microphone provides added headroom and minimizes distortion caused by transient peaks.
