Sony ECMXYST1M Stereo Microphone (Black)

Improved sound quality. Expensive.....

Product came as advertised. Quality and works perfect. Would buy from again

La calidad sonora es buena, comparada con microfono integrado, la direccionalidad ayuda mucho y me es muy funcional, ademas los materiales tienen buena apariencia. Una desventaja es que al no ser amplificado mete ruido, es practico y compacto para llevar en la maleta. El supresor de bajos es funcional. No requiere baterias por lo tanto esta listo para usar y no requieres preocuparte por esto.

不良品の迅速な返品交換対応に感謝致します。新たに入手した商品は完璧な状態で安心しました。有難うございました。

This microphone works on a wide range of Sony camera/Handycam models supporting the Multi-Interface shoe. This will not work on Active Shoe Interface devices, and there are no adapters for converting the Multi-Interface devices to fit Active Shoe devices, as Sony is streamlining and standardizing their devices to use the Multi Interface from here on out.This is a very nice pro quality microphone that captures extremely life like audio. It's honestly better than my Rode Stereo Mic. This mic is very compact, it's got a bit of weight to it and it is very tall and a bit wide. But for an on-camera mic, this is as good as it gets for these kinds of mics in this price range and size.The mic eliminates sounds captured by your hands rubbing against the camera body, and thanks to it being tall it isolates the audio better on what you're capturing. The mic is split between two channels and can be manually adjusted from 0* to 120* for either capturing audio on a single subject, to a wide acoustic setting like a concert or party. And having it manually adjustable makes it great for acclimating to different audio situations on the fly.It comes with a windscreen, an audio cable for connecting to the mic port on the camera, and a rubber spacer ring if you have a camera model with a sliding compartment to keep the piece from hitting the mic and causing unwanted pick up by the compartment door hitting the mic.It also has a dedicated switch for switching between normal audio recording and low-cut audio to reduce vibrations and background noises and wind. It's a very smart and well engineered microphone, and certainly better than the older model Sony stereo microphone, and for such a compact unit, it has amazing audio capture that certainly gave my Rode stereo mic a run for its money.It is a pricy microphone. Not gonna lie, this is the price you are going to pay pretty much anywhere you go, I have not seen it cheaper anywhere. But if you ask me, it's almost worth picking up if you're planning on buying a new Sony camcorder or camera in the high price range. If you have a high quality camera, then you will want high quality audio out of it. I definitely recommend it if you don't want to spend $300 on a microphone, this is just the right microphone for almost every need you'll have.

I used the stereo microphone to help in focusing the receipt of sounds ahead where I was recording. I attached the stereo microphone via the hot shoe to my AX53 4K camcorder which I use primarily for wildlife videography.
