In a release, Sony India said that the ECM-B10 applies digital signal processing to the sound collected by four high-performance microphone capsules using beamforming technology. This allows the user to customise how the audio is recorded by enhancing the microphone’s sensitivity from different directions. The microphone also offers three types of directivity in a single product.

The ECM-B10 microphone also offers clear sound collection with effective noise supression. The ECM-B10 effectively reduces noise for clearer sound collection and creates a more efficient post-production workflow. In addition, the ECM-B10 microphone’s shock and vibration suppressing design effectively suppresses low-frequency vibration noise, while its cable-less design also eliminates the noise transmitted via cables.

The mic also comes with a compact body that makes life easier for creators and videographers. By connecting the ECM-B10 to a camera with a MI shoe, users can be more flexible as there are no cables and the power is supplied directly from the mic, so users can continue shooting without worrying about the microphone’s battery running out.
