Sony Compact Stereo Lavalier Microphone

Designed for vlogging, YouTube videos, and content creation, the black Sony ECM-LV1 is a compact stereo lavalier microphone with a 3.3' cable and 3.5mm TRS connector for use with cameras and wireless transmitters—including the Sony ECM-W2BT Camera-Mount Bluetooth Wireless system. The lav features two omnidirectional capsules that each pick up sound in a 360° radius, resulting in stereo audio capture.

The low-profile mic is only 32mm in length and 11mm in diameter, while the included 360° rotatable clip offers flexible options for discreetly attaching the mic to clothing. The electret-condenser capsule is powered by plug-in power from your camera, voice recorder, or transmitter, so a battery is not required. The included foam windscreen helps reduce wind noise for cleaner recordings.

The Qualcomm aptX Low Latency codec is used to provide high-quality audio and low-latency performance. Content creators on the go will appreciate the compact, lightweight body design (resistant to dust and moisture), which provides enhanced mobility with compact camcorders and smaller DSLR/mirrorless cameras.

For challenging recording environments, an attenuator switch offers a choice of 20, 10, and 0 dB of attenuation, enabling you to adjust the audio-level pickup when the sound is excessively loud or too low. A furry windscreen is provided to reduce wind noise when working outdoors.

Support for two-person shoots is provided. In addition to the main wireless microphone, there is also an internal microphone inside the receiver unit, allowing you to record the camera operator and the main subject (on-camera performer and camera operator). Three sound pick-up modes—MIC mode, MIX mode, and RCVR mode—allows you to record either direct or ambient sound (or both) based on the application.
