Sony ECM-778 Compact Supercardioid Shotgun Microphone

The Sony ECM-778 is a professional shotgun microphone crafted for high-resolution audio recording in film, broadcasting, and content creation. Whether it is attached to a boom or a camera, this ultracompact electret-condenser microphone provides pristine, neutral sound with clear, open highs and a rich, stable low-mid response, making it perfect for dialogue, ambient sound, and acoustic instruments.

Focused Directivity, Smooth Off-Axis Response

Equipped with a supercardioid pickup pattern and a meticulously calibrated phase interference system, the ECM-778 effectively captures clear audio from the front while minimizing noise from the sides and rear. Its sophisticated off-axis response guarantees natural-sounding results, even when the sound source shifts or environmental conditions vary.

Consistent Audio at Varying Distances

The ECM-778 ensures consistent frequency and directivity performance over a broad spectrum of recording distances. Whether it is mounted on a boom in a confined area or affixed to a camera in an outdoor setting, it delivers precise, high-quality audio without any compromise.

Compact, Durable, and Lightweight

Measuring only 7 inches and weighing 3.6 oz, the ECM-778 is perfectly suited for mobile productions. Its humidity-resistant machined aluminum chassis provides a lightweight yet durable exterior that protects the microphone from vibrations and electrical interference, while maintaining a discreet profile for handheld or on-camera applications.

Professional Features for Any Environment

A switch for a low-cut filter located on the microphone body offers wind and rumble reduction right at the source, while two provided windscreens (foam and fur) enable you to adjust for both indoor and outdoor environments. Inside, high-quality film capacitors and resistors ensure ultra-low noise levels and a high dynamic range, all within a compact circuit size.
