## Description

Compact, lightweight microphone that uses new signal processing technology to achieve variable directivity for high quality digital audio.

Review: Audio is subjective, but I am really enjoying this mic - I have purchased Rode and Deity shotgun mics before (as well as countless lav mics and a few wireless kits) - this is the nicest microphone I have purchased to date. The elimination of the 3.5MM wire is very helpful when you have the pop-out screen go to the same side as the mic input. Another (uncelebrated) feature is the control panel on the back - saving you from having to do anything in the menu section (the audio controls are generally buried 10-13 screens into Sony's old menu structure). My videos sound great, this thing is very easy to use. I hear that due to the chip shortage, sony is pausing production on this mic, which is a shame. I hope they bring it back or release a better version. I will agree with many other reviewers - it is expensive. You can probably get an equal quality rode mic for cheaper, but you don't get the hot shoe wireless connection and I really like that. You also don't get the controls that save you from going into the menu... that might be my favorite aspect of this thing. It also has a noise cancel feature and it does work. It cut out heating system noises and even my dog stomping around upstairs (which other mics did pick up).
Review: Initial impressions on the ECM-B1M shotgun mic for the A7R IV - Quite pleased with the results out of the box. The ECM-B1M couldn't be simpler to use. Just stick it on the A7R4, select digital, your coverage area and sensitivity depending on distance. No batteries to fail, cables to lose or camera settings to fiddle with -- the camera automatically senses the microphone on A7R4. Voice audio is Job One for shotgun mikes and at 8-10 feet with 0 db setting, the voices were sparkling clear with solid db levels. Compared with my Rode VideoMic Pro, the Sony is far more convenient on the A7R4, more compact and much sturdier, performs analog to digital conversion within the mic, and sounds better to my ears out of the box. I have not tried the Sony dead cat, which is included along with a carrying case that holds only the microphone. The ECM-B1M is pricey, but really convenient for on-camera audio.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great, but wish it had other features for the price.
*by A***L on August 24, 2021*

The strongest point about this microphone is the strong noise cancellation algorithm. If you want usable audio in sometimes-noisy environments and don't have the time/desire to post-process, this will do it. That said, I wish this had a bi-directional mode. A stereo/mono switch in the omni-directional mode would be nice too (would want both; mono omni-directional is surprising useful in the middle of a group). 24-bit would be nice too. I would push people towards the Deity D4 Duo for an on-camera microphone if they are editing their videos and can take the few minutes to sort through two audio tracks. It's cheaper with "good enough" audio quality, and the bi-directional mode is very useful for vlogging or other unpredictable/improv situations. Some other reviews have complained about handling noise in the shock mount; my unit has none. It's possible this is a QC thing and that you would be able to return/exchange your way to a good unit. Note that given the price (above all other on-camera microphones), this also competes against Sony's own XLR-K3M, which is a little more bulky and expensive but has 24-bit recording and can be used with other XLR microphones.
