Sony ECM-AX10 Overview

Enhance your live streams and content with immersive audio that matches your videos with the Sony ECM-AX10, a spatial audio USB-C mic featuring four omnidirectional electret condenser capsules for capturing everything from stereo and binaural audio to full ambisonics. With a built-in accelerometer, the ECM-AX10 detects the mic's orientation and adjusts accordingly.

The ECM-AX10 sports numerous intuitive features for an easy workflow and clean-sounding audio, including switchable noise-cut and low-cut filters, auto gain control, and a dedicated ATT switch. A dedicated SELFIE switch adjusts sound orientation for front-facing video shooting, ensuring proper alignment. A 3.5mm headphone output enables direct, zero-latency monitoring. Further control is available from the Sony | Spatial Audio Video Tool app. The ECM-AX10 includes a windscreen, an extension cable, and a shoe-mount mic holder for cameras.

Realistic Spatial Audio for Your Videos
Four integrated omnidirectional microphone capsules enable versatile spatial audio recording—from Ambisonics for immersive playback on YouTube with Eclipsa Audio, to binaural audio that works on various platforms, plus conventional stereo.

Using advanced spatial audio processing, it captures balanced, positional sound across the full frequency range, encoding clear audio with accurate 3D sound placement. Allowing your listeners feel like they are right in the moment with you.

Compact and Ready to Go
With a compact design, the ECM-AX10 fits neatly into your pocket. It's designed to match your smartphone's dimensions, so you can record spatial audio whenever and wherever you like.
Shoot and Capture Your Way
No matter how you want to shoot and record, the ECM-AX10 makes it easy to capture the scene the way you want to and gives your audience a unique audio experience, with dedicated switches and accessories included.
One App for All Your Spatial Audio Needs
Shoot and share immersive soundscapes wherever you are, with your smartphone and Sony's dedicated Sony | Spatial Audio Video Tool app. Edit video and audio, export your video in various audio formats, and share on the go.
Eclipsa Audio
With Eclipsa Audio compatibility, you can experience video with immersive sound that goes beyond stereo sound. Sounds can feel as if they are coming from all around the scene, creating a more realistic sense of space, depth, and presence. By preserving spatial audio captured with First-Order Ambisonics, the ECM-AX10 helps deliver a lifelike viewing experience that brings audiences closer to the moment.
Easy Selection Between Spatial or Stereo Recording
Toggle instantly between Spatial and Stereo Modes with dedicated buttons. In Spatial mode, you'll capture the full ambience of your environment, with immersive Ambisonics audio through our dedicated app or binaural audio for wide compatibility with your favorite video app.

Capture the immersive buzz of crowds, natural soundscapes, and passing vehicles, to reproduce the true atmosphere of your scene, or switch to conventional stereo recording for a familiar yet still engaging experience. No matter what you choose, you'll get perfectly balanced sound across the entire frequency range.

Cut Out Unwanted Noise
For clear audio in loud environments, a switchable noise cut filter effectively removes unwanted background noise. A separate low-cut filter rolls off low frequencies, like wind, air conditioning, and other vibrations, to reduce muddiness. The ECM-AX10 is supplied with an effective and detachable fur-style windscreen that can reduce wind noise when shooting outdoors.
Shoot Your Own Way
Now you have the freedom to capture content in your own style. Whether filming everyday moments, creative scenes, or dynamic angles, you can easily shoot in the style that suits you. A built-in accelerometer automatically detects the tilt angle of the microphone, keeping your audio aligned with your video based on the microphone’s orientation, whatever direction it’s facing.
Stay in Control When Things Get Loud
Auto Gain Control automatically adjusts audio levels in real time, helping you stay focused on the moment while capturing clear sound for your viewers. Real-time peak indicators alert you when levels are too high and a dedicated physical ATT switch prevents distortion in loud environments.
Audio and Video App
Shoot and share immersive soundscapes from wherever you are, with the dedicated Sony | Spatial Audio Video Tool app for your smartphone. Edit video and audio, export the video files in various audio formats, and share on the go.
