Sony Wireless Streaming Microphone ECM-S1 with Minimum Audio Delay, and Long-Lasting Battery

The Sony ECM-S1 is a portable streaming microphone that is available in wireless and wired connections. It is a high-performance unit that is compact and lightweight, and delivers crystal-clear low-noise, with minimum audio delay. Its high-quality audio makes it easy for normal recordings or lives streaming, be it indoors or outdoors.
Record Clearly with Top-Notch Microphone Capsules
Even though the ECM-S1 is light weight and compact, it still has enough space to pack three 14 mm or large-diameter microphone capsules that delivers crisp, high-quality recordings with a flat frequency response, mainly in the low-mid-range voice band, while suppressing noise on the side. The better the sound quality, the better the impression on the viewers, and Sony delivers well in this area.
Delivering Precise Sound with Low Intrinsic Noise
The ECM-S1 has wide dynamic range with low intrinsic noise, making it fit to capture even low-level sound. Made to be a streaming microphone, the ECM-S1 is fine-tuned to capture the richness of the human voice in all its naturalness and clarity.
Noise-Suppression Filter Advantage
Say goodbye to persistent background noise with the digital nose cut filter inside the ECM-S1. Frequent low-frequency background noises that can interrupt a streamer includes the wind, vibration, air condition, and ceiling or pedestal fans. This filter makes post-production easier as there is less time needed to remove background noise.
Pop Guard for Pop Noise Suppression
Greatly control annoying popping sounds that pop up when the speaker is speaking close to the microphone. Vocals, narration, and everything in between is made smoother thanks to this feature.
Compact and Lightweight Design
The compact and lightweight design of the ECM-S1 makes it ideal to use for indoor and outdoor streams or recordings, without making any compromises to the sound quality.
Make Real-Time Audio Adjustments
An independent AUDIO LEVEL dial lets you make audio adjustments in real time. Additionally, the LINK lamp allows you to check the connection status between the microphone and receiver.
Made for Extensive Outdoor Shoots
Both the microphone and receiver have built-in batteries. The receiver can be used for long periods for direct power supply when it’s connected to the camera’s Multi Interface (MI) Shoe or to a PC or other devices. The microphone can last 13 hours continuously when its fully charged, giving you peace of mind during long outdoor shoots.
Wireless Transmission with Low Power Consumption
Bluetooth 5.3 or Bluetooth Low Energy and a LC3plus codec help with low power consumption and low latency, without compromising the superior sound quality. Wireless connectivity and performance between the microphone and receiver has been improved even in environments with interference or other wireless sources. Communication is now strong for up to 492 ft (150 m) if there is a good line of sight, for flexibility in outdoor microphone placement.
Multiple Mounting and Attachment Methods Supported
The ECM-S1 can be attached to a stand while recording, with back and forth adjustment to the microphone angle. Otherwise you can use the ¼-inch thread at the bottom of the microphone to mount it on a tripod. You can also attach it to a boom arm with the help of a conversion adaptor.
Multi Interface Shoe Benefits
If the receiver is connected to a Sony camera that supports the Multi Interface (MI) Shoe, such as the α series digital interchangeable-lens cameras or vlog cameras, you will no longer require a separate cable for power supply or audio interface.
Wireless Sound Recording with Sony Camera
If the receiver is connected to a Sony camera that supports the Multi Interface (MI) Shoe with a digital audio interface, you can capture high-quality audio and transmit it digitally without loss of quality, thanks to the wireless connection that allows maximum shooting freedom.
USB Digital Audio Output for Different Connection Methods
The ECM-S1 microphone and receiver have a USB Type-C port that gives 48 kHz per 24-bit digital audio output. This means that the microphone can be connected to numerous devices, making it easier to film and stream.
Output via 3.5 mm Mini Jack or Stereo
The receiver has a 3.5 mm mini jack (stereo) that allows it to be used with cameras, PCs, recorders and devices that do not have an integrated Multi Interface (MI) Shoe.

Sony Wireless Streaming Microphone ECM-S1 with Minimum Audio Delay, and Long-Lasting Battery SKU: ECMS1

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Wireless Broadcast Condenser Mic for Your Cam! Innovative, great voice quality, multi-purpose wireless condenser style mic for those pod casters, voiceovers, and content creator that is very simple to use. It's very versatile on how you can connect to your recording devices. You can also connect it to a PC via USB-C cable, connect to another audio device via 3.5" phono plug, or wirelessly to its Bluetooth receiver that is connected to a Sony camera with a Multi Interface hot shoe. It has good recording features such as low-cut filter, noise-cancelling, 3 different capturing patterns from its 3 large-diameter 14mm capsules, sound levels knobs and mute button. Voice is clear in the mid-range. It feels premium quality with its hard plastic shell.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Phenomenal for live recording! Upon receiving the ECM-S1, I quickly put it to the test between recording podcast episodes and using it for live performance music videos. The feature rich microphone held up insanely well! From sound treated studio settings to recording sessions in echo and reverb-rich environments like a parking structure, this microphone has outstanding clarity and quality! The ease of use when making adjustments to dial in the spectrum of captured audio was a delight for an evolving set.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A perfect desktop microphone This microphone has been a great addition to my work from home setup. Installing was as simple as plugging it in to a USB port on my PC and making it the default mic. The only trouble had I at first was remembering to turn it on to start using it, but otherwise it was extremely straightforward. The volume adjustment knobs for both the input and output on the side are a great feature to quickly change levels without having to worry about changing anything in the volume settings on my PC. However, my favorite feature is the lights on the front of the mic that display a live level feedback, so you know just by looking if the mic is on and working properly. It's a great feature that I haven't really seen in any other desktop mics I've used. The wireless capability is great as well. Being able to seamlessly go from a wired connection to a PC to a wireless connection to a camera is incredibly useful. I was also astounded by how lightweight this mic is. For the amount of features packed in and the sound quality, it is extremely light and portable. It's certainly designed to be a desktop mic, but it could very easily be packed in a bag and give you professional audio on the go. While the price is a little steep, for someone wanting very professional sound and a great list of features in a light and portable package, I think this mic is hard to beat!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect Addition to the YouTube Studio I have been very pleased with the quality of the ECM-S1 microphone, both in build and sound quality. The microphone unit itself was well thought out. I really appreciate the ease of connecting the microphone to the receiver, it just works right out of the box. The level meter on the front of the microphone is very useful when setting up to film as I can clearly see my record level as I speak and can adjust volume right on the microphone if needed. Using this microphone in Live steams is very easy when connecting to my FX30 camera. The receiver plugs right into the hot shoe and just works. No set up other then selecting the digital signal path switch (since the FX30 uses the digital hot shoe interface). The ECM-S1 has three sound field selections on the back of the microphone and it works extremely well when set to forward array and really helps eliminate the room noise from the recordings. The noise suppression filters also help with eliminating unwanted noise from being recorded like the air conditioner running. My only complaint about this microphone is the fact to benefit from the digital processing connection to the hot shoe on the FX30, is I have to remove the XLR-H1 handle sound unit from the camera to use the receiver, While there is still an option to plug it in with a 3.5 TRS to the XLR handle, it would be nice if any newer XLR devices had provisions to connect another Hot Shoe accessory to the top of it. This is only a problem if you own a XLR device that utilizes the hot shoe connection point for its operation. So far this is my new favorite microphone in my studio. Very Happy!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Comparable Quality to the Best Pro Mics! I have been working in film/video production professionally for 40 years. I have a lot of experience with studio mics of all types. 

 The advantage of the Sony ECM-S1 wireless system is that it works fluidly with Sony Alpha cameras. Plug the receiver into the hot shoe on the camera, turn on the microphone, and it instantly shows up on the camera’s menu. Levels can be controlled from the microphone.

 It will connect to non-Alpha cameras with standard 3.5mm connectors and has an analog mode to go old school. In addition, it makes a terrific USB microphone; plug it directly into a USB slot. It worked flawlessly on my Mac Studio.

 Most importantly, this microphone does a stellar job of audio reproduction. The mic records music with a full flat dynamic range and has a natural quality sound. To me, it is comparable to a good-quality condenser microphone.

 The microphone comes with an adjustable clip-on stand and has a 1/4” thread hole. It fits on a standard light stand stud or a tripod. However, I wish there was a shock mount for it. I find that without it, this very sensitive mic picks up noises when the stand is touched, or floor vibrations are present.

 The microphone and receiver charge through USB-C cables. The manual says it will go 13 hours. It certainly holds power for a long time. 

 The microphone has a pattern switch, which is very important. For the most part, I use the stereo pattern. The playback reproduces the space well in headphones; the separation is excellent. The cardioid pattern is best for recording a single voice, and the omnidirectional pattern is helpful for recording a room.

 There is noise reduction and a low-pass filter. I tend to leave these off and do all my signal processing in post.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Such a great and versatile mic This microphone has such a smart design, it's probably one of the most versatile mics out there. - If you're a streamer, you can attach the receiver to your Sony camera with zero wires and have a wireless mic with an all-day battery life that you can place anywhere. Even outdoors. No wires, no setup time. - If you spend a lot of time on Zoom calls, this is the mic to get. Your voice will be crisp, clear and professional sounding with zero effort. I use it attached to the Sony FX30 camera that I use as my webcam. That makes it wireless and very easy to position. You can also connect it to a computer via USB-C. - I also used it as a backup mic on a video shoot. I had interviewees wear lavalier mics and I could hide this wireless mic on a table to have an extra sound channel recorded. You can never be too careful when it comes to recording sound. The design is very elegant and smart. It looks impressive and well built, but also unintrusive when in shot. Depending on use case, you can switch between three modes. - Directional single person mic that reduces ambient sound and focuses on the voice. - Directional two person mic that records left and right channel separately (or a stereo mic). - Omnidirectional mic to record room sound coming from all directions. This is also useful when recording people at a round table all around the mic. It has a noise canceling function and internal automatic gain and dynamics processing which makes it sound excellent out of the box with no need for any extra filtering or plugins. It even comes with a physical pop filter you can attach to it. The wireless connection is very reliable, even in spaces with many BT and Wi-Fi devices. Sony makes high end studio mics and this is not the mic to get if you need something that will be a part of a multi-thousand dollar studio setup. And even then it might be useful for situations where you need a wireless device. But for everyone else, this is the perfect all-in-one mic.
