Sony Microphone ECM-W2BT

The ECM-W2BT wireless microphone enables digital audio recording with reduced noise, by plugging into a compatible camera or camera with a Multi-Interface shoe that incorporates a digital audio interface. The digital audio signal generated by the receiver can be recorded directly in the device, without additional cables. In addition, the ECM-W2BT benefits from an entirely new design for high sound quality, thanks to an omnidirectional capsule that captures clear sound from any direction. The ECM-W2BT also offers great recording flexibility by improving the stability of the connection between the microphone and the receiver, even in the presence of obstacles or in crowded environments with other wireless connections. When conditions are good, communication is possible up to 200 m, which greatly improves the flexibility of the check-in. Finally, the new Qualcomm aptX Low Latencyii codec ensures both high recording quality and low latency.

The ECM-W2BT wireless microphone also offers complete creative freedom thanks to its different recording modes. Three capture modes (MIC mode, MIX mode and the new RCVR mode) allow the user to record audio and ambient noise according to their preference. The MIC mode only captures the signal from the wireless microphone: only the subject's sound is recorded. RCVR mode only captures audio from the receiver's built-in microphone, allowing the operator to self-record. MIX mode captures both wireless mic and receiver streams, which is useful for simultaneously maintaining subject and user audio. The ECM-W2BT microphone incorporates a stereo audio input and a 3.5mm mini-jack input, allowing stereo capture: it can therefore be combined with a stereo lavalier microphone such as the ECM-LV1 - a discreet model that attaches to to the subject's clothing and records a particularly realistic sound. As the receiver is equipped with a 3.5mm audio output, the ECM-W2BT can be used with cameras that do not have an accessory shoe.

For harsh environments, the ECM-W2BT includes an ambient sound attenuation function. Depending on the volume of the sound source, the user can select one of three attenuation levels to reduce the volume of excessively loud noises, or to amplify weak noise. The ECMW2BT also has a windshield to reduce unwanted wind noise, which is especially useful when recording outdoors. To extend usage time, the camera's Multi-Interface hot shoe battery charging function allows the receiver to be used for up to 9 hoursiii straight. For ease of use, the ECM-W2BT features a LINK indicator that shows the user the connection status between the microphone and the receiver, as well as a POWER indicator light to easily check the battery charge. In addition, a protective support for the foot of the Multi-Interface shoe is provided: it allows the microphone and its receiver to be transported together and can also be used as a tripod in order to place the microphone in a stable position during interviews or interviews. 'other static uses.
