Professional video shooting requires a more professional camera to shoot high-quality pictures; the sound collection is also essential. To meet everyday video shooting needs, Sony today officially unveiled two new microphone products -- wireless microphone ECM-W2BT and stereo collar microphone ECM-LV1. Both microphones provide high-quality, low noise sound recording for daily VLOG shooting, product reviews, event presentations, and more.
A wireless microphone ECM-W2BT and a stereo lapel microphone ECM-LV1 package will also be offered, with a suggested retail price of RMB 1,999.
The wireless microphone ECM-W2BT connects the receiver to the Sony Microphone for low noise digital audio recording through the MI Hotboot with digital audio interface support. The receiver outputs digital audio signals that can be recorded directly to the fuselage without additional cable connections. The wireless microphone ECM-W2BT has been a new design, using a high-quality all-directional microphone unit to suppress noise, pick up clear sound from different directions, and achieve high-quality audio recording.
Adopt MI hot boot interface to support low noise digital audio recording
The ECM-W2BT also enables flexible audio recording by improving the wireless connection between the microphone and the receiver, allowing stable transmission even in obstructions or complex and crowded environments. The ECM-W2BT can transmit steadily in open, unobstency-free environments, even at distances as far as 200 meters, and audio recording is more arbitrary. Also, the newly adopted Qualcomm APTX low latency codec provides high-quality, low latency audio recording.
200 meters long-distance wireless connection
Wireless microphone ECM-W2BT has different modes of sound acquisition, which provides users with greater freedom of creation. The three recording modes include MIC mode, MIX mode, and the new RCVR mode. Users can record voice and ambient sound in different ways according to their own needs. MIC mode only receives sound in one direction from the microphone end, suitable for network conferences and live broadcast applications. In RCVR mode, the sound is received in one order only from the internal microphone of the RECEIVER, which is suitable for broadcasting and commenting on sports events and recording children's growth videos and VLOG videos. Mix mode Mic (microphone) and Receiver (RECEIVER) can receive sound simultaneously, suitable for use in a two-person VLOG or interview environment.
Three kinds of sound acquisition methods
The 3.5mm stereo interface on the ECM-W2BT microphone can be connected to other recording devices, such as the stereo collar-microphone ECM-LV1, for more realistic, high-quality audio. At the same time, the 3.5mm interface of the receiver supports audio output. For cameras without MI boots, the equipped 3.5mm audio cable can connect to the camera body for recording.

The wireless microphone ECM-W2BT also has an adjustable level function to achieve high-quality audio in complex recording environments. The user can choose from 3 levels according to the sound source volume. At high volume, the audio input level can be lowered to reduce distortion. Raise the input level in a quiet, low-volume environment to retain more signals.

The ECM-W2BT also provides a windshield to reduce wind noise during outdoor recording. The camera's Mi boot helps power the microphone's receiver, recording up to nine hours of battery life.

The ECM-W2BT adds a status display light for users to check the communication status between the microphone and the receiver and a power display light for checking the battery's remaining power. Also, the ECM-W2BT comes with a hot boot protective cover that allows the receiver and microphone to be combined for easier portability and can also be used as a stand for the microphone during interviews or other stationary use scenarios.

Stereo Collar-clip Microphone ECM-LV1 has a high-quality sound pickup unit, a compact design that makes it easy to carry and better hide when shooting. ECM-LV1 comes with a windshield, which can effectively reduce the noise caused by wind or breathing. The microphone holder rotates 360 degrees and can be attached horizontally to the tie or vertically to the pocket, allowing the microphone to record at the best Angle. When used with wireless microphone ECM-W2BT, it is powered by the microphone end of ECM-W2BT.
