OVERVIEW:
Get the most out of α system cameras with this compact shotgun microphone. The cable-free, battery-free configuration is perfect for shooting movies, while sharp directivity and a choice of three pickup patterns respond to diverse audio needs. Digital signal processing and audio transmission deliver high-quality sound without degradation
Built-in digital signal processing: The ECM-B10 incorporates built-in digital signal processing, converting analogue data to digital within the microphone body. Processing using Sony's proprietary algorithms provides sharp directivity, while a choice of three pickup patterns responds to diverse audio needs.
Shotgun mic directivity in a compact package: Four high-performance microphone capsules work with a beamforming algorithm to provide extremely sharp directivity that effectively rejects off-axis sound. All of this is achieved in a remarkably compact microphone.
Your choice of three directivity settings: Advanced digital signal processing technology makes it possible to offer three different pickup patterns in one versatile microphone. Use the control on the rear panel of the microphone to switch between super-directional, unidirectional, and omnidirectional settings, depending on the requirements of your shoot. 
Super-directional: capture sound directly in front of the camera: The super-directional pickup pattern, capturing audio from a focused area in front of the microphone, is well suited to recording interviews or selfies. This mode is very effective at suppressing audio from the side and back of the microphone while emphasising sound from directly in front.
Unidirectional: capture a wide field in front of the mic: When there are more audio sources in front of the microphone, unidirectional is the best choice. This mode captures sound from a wider area in front, while still suppressing sound from behind, making it ideal for recording panel discussions or a group of musicians. 
Omnidirectional: gather sound from all directions: The omnidirectional pattern has equal sensitivity in all directions. Omnidirectional pickup is well suited to the task when you want to record conversations between the camera operator and an interview subject, or general environmental sounds from the area surrounding the camera. 
Digital audio interface support for clear sound: The ECM-B10 is compatible with a wide range of Sony's cameras1. When used in combination with a camera equipped with a Multi Interface (MI) Shoe that supports a digital audio interface2, audio can be transmitted directly as a digital signal, delivering high-quality sound recording without degradation.
Clear sound with effective noise suppression: The ECM-B10's noise cut filter uses digital signal processing to minimise unwanted ambient sound, for cleaner audio. A low cut filter is also available, with easy, intuitive access from the rear panel, to reduce low-frequency noise from sources such as wind and air-conditioning units. Maximising audio quality at the recording stage in this way reduces the need for noise removal in post production, contributing to more efficient workflows.
Intuitive operation and full operational control: Record level control, analogue output for compatibility with a wide range of cameras, and an attenuator that makes it easy to set optimum signal levels all add to this microphone’s versatility. This level of control can contribute to smooth, stress-free post production.
A compact size for better portability: At just 79.3mm in length, the microphone is highly portable and ready to go wherever you're shooting. The front of the unit won't interfere with your shot even when you're using a wide-angle lens, and it can fit easily into setups in combination with gimbals and grips.
Shock and vibration suppression: The shock- and vibration-suppressing design of the ECM-B10 effectively reduces low-frequency vibration noise. The cable-free configuration also eliminates the possibility of vibration noise being transmitted through a connector cable.
FEATURES:
[ Super-directional performance in a compact package ]
• Advanced beamforming technology: Digital signal processing using beamforming technology achieves super-directivity, ideal for interviews and selfies, where the sound collection is focused on a narrow range in front of the camera.
• Compact and portable, at only 79.3mm (3 1/8in.) in length: Even at only 79.3mm (3 1/8in.) in length, the ECM-B10 offers impressive directional audio capture. Its small size gives you plenty of clearance for wide-angle lenses, viewfinder use, and great integrated audio even in gimbal- and grip-mounted shots.
[ Your choice of three pickup patterns ]
• Super-directional, unidirectional, omnidirectional: Advanced digital signal processing makes it possible to offer three switchable directivity patterns in one versatile microphone, allowing you to select the area for audio pickup depending on the requirements of your shoot.
• Simple switching operation: Choose the most suitable pickup pattern with an easy-to-reach switch - A simple three-way switch on the rear panel of the microphone lets you quickly switch back and forth among the three pickup patterns, giving you the flexibility to adapt to your shooting requirements.
• Super-directional: focused front area: Ideal for interviews or selfies, the super-directional pattern collects sound from a focused area in front of the microphone, effectively suppressing sounds from off-axis and behind the camera.
• Unidirectional: wide frontal range: Perfect for multi-person conversations, the unidirectional pattern captures sound from a wide field in front of the microphone while minimising pickup from behind. 
• ECM-B10 set to omnidirectional mode. - Omnidirectional: sound from any direction. The omnidirectional pattern picks up audio equally from all directions, useful for recording environmental sounds or the voice of the camera operator.
[ High-quality recording and digital transmission ]
• Digital signal processing: Sony's proprietary algorithms enable noise reduction as well as directivity - The ECM-B10 converts analogue sound to digital within the microphone body and performs digital signal processing using Sony's unique algorithms, enabling three directional pickup patterns as well as noise reduction. In-body digital conversion also helps to reduce noise inside the microphone.
• Highly efficient noise filter: Noise cut filter using digital signal processing - The ECM-B10's noise cut filter is very effective at reducing extraneous ambient noises through the use of digital signal processing algorithms, maximising audio quality at the recording stage and reducing the need for complex post processing.
• Digital audio transmission: No audio degradation during transmission - When used in combination with a camera equipped with a Multi Interface (MI) Shoe that supports a digital audio interface, the ECM-B10 transmits audio directly as a digital signal, delivering high-quality sound without degradation.
[ Convenient, reliable operation ]
• Cable-free connection: No cables are required for connection to a wide range of Sony's cameras equipped with an MI Shoe, reducing interference, noise and complexity.
• Battery-free operation: Power is also supplied via the MI Shoe in compatible cameras, so you don't need to worry about microphone batteries running out of charge during a shoot. 
• Intuitive, easily visible rear panel: Controls for audio level, pickup pattern, filters and other functions are within easy reach on the rear panel, visible at a glance for reassurance and quick adjustments during shooting. 
• Supplied wind screen: The ECM-B10 is supplied with an effective fur-type wind screen, easily detachable, that can reduce wind noise when shooting outdoors.
• Designed to minimise vibration noise: The ECM-B10 has been designed to efficiently suppress noises caused by shock and vibration, while the cable-free design eliminates the possibility of noise caused by cable movement.
• Dust and moisture resistant design: Complementing similarly dust and moisture resistant camera bodies and lenses, the microphone is designed for worry-free outdoor shooting.
