Offering the professional performance of the ECM-77 in a more durable, compact, and plug-in powered form factor, the Sony ECM-L1 is an omnidirectional lavalier mic ideal for creators and pro video applications. The ECM-L1 delivers high-quality sound and durability thanks to a brass capsule, ceramic back plate, and thick OFC cable. The capsule of the ECM-L1, which borrows its design from the ECM-77, offers clear, crisp sound with a quick response. With plug-in power, rather than external power, the ECM-L1 is compatible with a wide range of common recording devices, from camera systems like Sony’s own α and FX series to portable recorders and smartphones. The common 3.5mm screw-lock plug provides further compatibility and reliability to avoid accidental pullouts. Highly compact and featuring a discreet black finish, the ECM-L1 is easy to hide on clothing during shoots.
