Sony shotgun digital on-camera microphone is an ultra-compact camera-mount designed for mobile video creators working with Sony cameras equipped with the Multi Interface Shoe. Released together with the a7R IV, which benefits from the integrated digital audio interface, the ECM-B1M is able to produce its best quality by providing a digital audio stream directly to the camera via the Multi Interface Shoe. Other Sony cameras with a standard Multi Interface Shoe can still use the microphone as there is a selectable digital/analogue output.

Sony microphone equipped with eight high-performance microphone capsules and advanced digital signal processing, offering three selectable directivity patterns for a wide range of shooting and recording situations. Plug-and-play operation makes the microphone easy to use right out of the box: you can immediately start recording your YouTube videos, Facebook Live streams and interviews, at home, in the studio or on the road.
