Looking to capture interviews and vlogs on your Multi Interface compatible Sony Camera? The Sony ECM-W3S Wireless Microphone System is the perfect tool for the job. Its clip-on transmitter with built-in microphone and single-channel receiver with Multi Interface Shoe connection make it easy to record high-quality audio. Whether you need to capture analog or digital audio signals in separate or mixed channels, this system has you covered for maximum flexibility during postproduction. The ultra-compact receiver comes with integrated 3.5mm TRS and USB-C output ports for added convenience. You can toggle between analog and digital output modes and select separate or mixed channel recording using the switches on the side. Plus, the safety track recording feature helps protect your recording from unexpected interruptions, while the transmitter unit's attenuator switch prevents clipping.
Bluetooth Wireless Communication
The devices are able to connect to each other using the Bluetooth 5.3 low-energy LC3plus codec from distances of up to 492 feet. This codec allows for low power usage and minimal delay while still delivering excellent sound quality.
Multi Interface Shoe
The integrated Multi Interface Shoe on your receiver offers a seamless, cable-free connection to compatible Sony cameras. By attaching the receiver to the camera body, you can draw power directly from the camera, eliminating the need for external power sources. This setup ensures that audio is transmitted via a direct digital signal, maintaining high-quality sound without the risk of transmission deterioration. This streamlined connection is particularly beneficial for videographers and content creators seeking a reliable and efficient audio solution.
Digital Sound Recording
Digital MEMS microphones with a high signal-to-noise ratio are integrated into each transmitter to capture clear audio with minimal noise. To further enhance audio quality, the system includes built-in noise cut and low-cut filters. The noise cut filter leverages digital signal processing to effectively remove interference and background noise, ensuring cleaner sound. The low-cut filter specifically targets and reduces low-frequency noise, such as that generated by, air conditioning units, and vibrations, thereby eliminating unwanted rumble and enhancing overall audio clarity.
These advanced features make the system ideal for environments requiring high-fidelity audio capture, whether for professional recording, broadcasting, or communication purposes. The combination of digital MEMS microphones and sophisticated filtering ensures that the audio remains crisp and intelligible, free from common acoustic disturbances.
Microphone audio input/output
A 3.5 mm mini jack (monaural) is provided as an external microphone input terminal on the microphone side, and a 3.5 mm mini jack (stereo) on the receiver side serves as an audio output terminal. In addition to sound acquisition using a stereo-compatible lavalier microphone, output to devices not equipped with a Multi Interface (MI) Shoe is also possible.
Clip-On Transmitter
- Noise cut filter, low-cut filter
- Three attenuation settings: 0, 10, or 20 dB
- 3.5mm TRS jack for external microphone input
Battery Life
- Each component features an integrated lithium-ion battery.
- The transmitters can operate for six hours at a time on a full charge.
- Use the included charging case to recharge the components when on the go.
Component Design
The LEDs on the receiver and transmitters display the communication status and enable you to keep an eye on battery levels. All the components are built to withstand moisture and dust, making them suitable for outdoor shooting. Moreover, the furry windscreens included help minimize wind noise.
