Overview

The Sony ECM-L1 lavalier microphone is designed for the reliability and quality demands of professional use, based on Sony’s time-tested audio technology. The 3.5mm mini plug supports plug-in power for wide compatibility, along with a capsule made for clear voice capture.

Industry-lauded capsule technology    
The capsule of the ECM-L1 is based on the ECM-77 series, widely used and trusted by sound professionals along with Sony's other pro audio products. With the pedigree of the go-to microphone for professional broadcasters in both studios and on location, the ECM-L1 is designed to deliver professional results to a diverse range of creators.

Ceramic back plate    
The high rigidity and excellent dampening properties of the ceramic back plate ensure superb acoustic properties as well as providing strong electrical stability for low-noise recording under a wide range of conditions.

Machined brass exterior    

The microphone capsule is enclosed in a machined brass exterior to suppress unwanted extraneous resonances and provide a clear, crisp sound.

Oxygen-free copper cable    
The high-purity OFC (oxygen-free copper) cable reduces transmission loss and protects the high sound quality of the recorded audio.

Ideal for voice recording    
Lavalier microphones can be positioned closer to the speaker’s mouth, for superior audio capture and better audio definition than can be obtained from the built-in microphones in cameras and other devices located further away.

Brass housing    
The microphone capsule is enclosed in a highly robust external brass housing that resists deformation and protects the microphone from damage even under the rigors of on-location use.

Rugged shielded cable    
The 2-core shielded cable suppresses extraneous noise, and its 2.2 mm diameter makes it resistant to breakage. A locking ring prevents accidental disconnection from the recording equipment*1.

Two types of windscreens    
The included metal and fur windscreens can be switched according to usage and environment. The metal screen is more visually discreet for situations when the microphone needs to be inconspicuous, while the fur screen is better adapted to reducing outdoor wind noise and interference from pop noise.

Unobtrusive design    
In addition to the compact size of the body, the logo on the clip is embossed instead of printed, resulting in a design that is elegant but unobtrusive when shooting. It is also ideal for business-oriented video recording.

Plug-in power support    
With a 3.5mm mini plug providing plug-in power support, the ECM-L1 is designed for an extensive range of uses, including direct connection to α™ cameras equipped with aux audio inputs or wireless microphone transmitters, letting you clearly capture the speaker’s voice on your preferred device without visually obtrusive audio equipment.

Wide range of compatibility     
Since it can be connected to a microphone input terminal that supports general plug-in power, this unit can be used with a wide range of devices including IC recorders and smartphones*2. Higher-quality sound can be recorded by capturing the voice closer to the mouth with this high-performance microphone than by using the device's built-in microphone.

Comprehensive solutions     
With our wide range of microphones, you can choose the perfect model to capture professional quality audio to suit any style, situation, or application.
