Sony ECM-W2BT and ECM-LV1 microphones introduced

Sony unveiled the ECM-W2BT and ECM-LV1 microphones, the images of which appeared the day before.

The ECM-W2BT is wireless and the ECM-LV1 is a compact stereo lavalier model. According to the manufacturer, the ECM-W2BT provides a stable wireless connection and allows you to record high quality audio with low noise, especially when combined with an ECM-LV1 lavalier microphone and a Sony digital audio camera. Potential users of the described combination include vloggers, YouTube channel authors and other video content creators.

The ECM-W2BT microphone receiver is connected to the camera’s multi-interface connector and works via a digital interface. This means the microphone signal can be recorded directly in the camera without the need for an external audio cable. In open space, the omnidirectional microphone is said to record up to 200m away. Supports the Qualcomm aptX Low Latency codec for high recording quality and low latency.

The presence of a second microphone in the receiver made it possible to implement three modes: MIC, RCVR and MIX. In the first, the sound is recorded only from the microphone transmitter, which allows you to capture the sounds of the subject. In RCVR mode, only the sound from the receiver’s internal microphone is recorded, allowing you to record the voice of the person taking the picture. Finally, the MIX mode records sounds from both the transmitter and receiver. The ECM-W2BT microphone supports stereo recording and is equipped with a 3.5mm jack so that it can be used with a stereo lavalier microphone such as the ECM-LV1.

The advantages of the ECM-LV1 stereo lavalier microphone include sound quality, compactness and wind protection. The clip rotates 360 °, allowing you to mount the microphone horizontally or vertically. Power is supplied through the cable.

The Sony ECM-W2BT microphone costs 240 euros, the ECM-LV1 – 35 euros. Sales are due to start in April.
