Sony Unveils ECM-778 Microphone

Sony announces the launch of its latest professional audio innovation, the ECM-778, a high-resolution shotgun microphone designed for filmmakers, content creators, and studios seeking crystal-clear sound in a compact and lightweight form. Ideal for film, OTT, documentary, and studio productions, the ECM-778 adapts seamlessly to various audio recording environments. Despite its compact 176 mm length and 102 g weight, the ECM-778 delivers sharp directivity and precise sound capture thanks to its newly developed microphone capsule, brass acoustic tube and optimized electronic circuitry. These components ensure clear high frequencies, stable mid-lows, and consistent performance across varying distances and setups.

It is designed for professional versatility, the microphone can be mounted on boom poles or cameras using the included holder and adapter, and it supports devices with XLR terminals. A built-in low-cut filter reduces unwanted bass noise, while included foam and fur wind screens optimize performance indoors or in windy outdoor conditions. The machined aluminium exterior enhances durability and reduces unwanted vibration and electrical noise, while the use of film capacitors and metal film resistors further improves audio fidelity and power stability.
