Sony ECM-S1 Overview

Record your podcast, livestream, or other forms of content creation with your Sony camera, computer, or smartphone using this Sony ECM-S1 Wireless Streaming Microphone System thanks to its multiple wired and wireless audio outputs. The microphone transmits audio to an included dual-channel receiver via Bluetooth 5.3 technology to your Sony camera's MI shoe for stable digital audio. A stand with non-slip base and a 1/4"-20 thread at the base of the device allow you to attach the microphone to a stand or simply place it on your desk. If wireless capture doesn't suit your gear configuration, use the USB-C or 3.5mm TRS ports on the receiver or the USB-C port on the microphone to record directly to your laptop, smartphone, or other camera brands.
Streaming Microphone with Selectable Pickup Patterns
Toggle between three capture modes using an onboard switch on the microphone. Monoaural unidirectional is best for narration, voiceover, and podcasting applications. Omnidirectional allows for multiple subjects or a room's atmosphere to be captured. Stereo unidirectional is suitable for music recording. An included pop filter reduces plosives when the speaker's mouth is close to the microphone.
Multi Interface Shoe
Use the receiver's integrated Multi Interface Shoe for cable-free connection to your compatible Sony camera. The camera body can supply power to the receiver when attached. Audio is transmitted via direct digital signal for high-quality sound free of transmission deterioration.
Various Wired Connections
  • USB-C digital audio outputs on both the receiver and microphone support 48 kHz 24-bit audio recording to your compatible PC or smartphone.
  • A 3.5mm TRS jack on the receiver supports a stereo audio output recording to your compatible camera, PC, or smartphone. Use the 3.5mm jack on the microphone to connect an external mic input. You can record up to 3 hours using the port on the receiver, while the microphone can record up to 13 hours with a separately available input device.
  • An integrated dial on the microphone switches the 3.5mm TRS jack from an external microphone input to a headphone jack when utilizing the USB-C connection to record. This allows for real-time monitoring of the audio signal and the ability to better control your volume with the onboard volume dial.
Multiple Mounting Solutions
The included desktop stand can be rotated 360° for optimal positioning. It can be easily attached or detached from the microphone. A 1/4"-20 thread at the bottom of the microphone can connect it to a tripod or boom arm.
Bluetooth Wireless Communication
The units communicate with one another via Bluetooth 5.3 low-energy LC3plus codec from up to 492' away. The Bluetooth LC3plus codec ensures low power consumption and low latency while maintaining high sound quality.

Great Mic which travels in my A Camera FX6 kit

As a multi-camera user, with everything from my A7III through to my FX6, The Sony ECM-S1 is a great compliment to my system and the right tool for the job when I am not working with lavaliers. It rounds out my Sony multiverse of audio solutions because of its direct delivery of digital audio via the hotshoe (also referred to as the multi-shoe). I own other hard-wired microphones that are both handheld and shotgun, but while can connect in via the audio in port on the side of the camera, those use an analog cord to connect, and I really like the digital connection feature of this microphone. The mic has a discreet built in LED levels meter on the front that lets you know how your levels are being received by the mic, as the audio is being captured. The base is snug and tilts, but also removable so you can use a 1/4-20 mount for other standardized mounting solutions, and it includes a removable pop guard for when that’s a possible concern. The quality of the audio is exceptional, very much in line with a high-end studio microphone solution, and discreet controls on mic allow you to adjust levels while viewing the levels meter as you go. Settings on the mic allow you to select front-facing or front/rear pickups (polar pattern directionality, 3 options) depending upon if you are solo recording or recording multiple people face to face in an interview setting with the mic between them. The camera receiver is also much smaller than the many other solutions, largely because the switches on it are all that’s needed, and the audio meters that take up the screen space on some other receivers can be seen on the mic and checked also on your camera screen without any problem, so why be duplicative? Further, when paired with a Sony camera the camera supplies power to the receiver, so your receiver is always being charged by the camera. The mic battery allows for up to about 13 hours of record time on one charge. The mic can also be used to connect direct to a computer or smartphone via a hardwired connection, or using the wireless receiver you’d normally use on the camera, direct into the computer or smartphone for a wireless solution without any apps or other software required for use. The audio quality is excellent, and without any tweaking in an editor, is warmer and sounds more robust when compared side by side with other comparable options. There is also a switchable option to engage a Low Cut and Noise Cancelling feature, when needed. The mic system has a line-of-sight range of about 500ft, using the mic at this distance is also an outlier case and unlikely, but it’s good to know the range. The key here is simplicity without sacrifice. This mic travels in my FX6 A Camera case as a part of my audio kit where a lavalier is not the best solution but I still need great audio.

If you are using the Sony ECM-S1 Wireless Streaming Microphone System with Multi Interface Shoe to record audio directly to your camera, the audio will be recorded as part of your footage in place of the built-in mic track.
