Sony announces the ECM-L1 lavalier microphone, which can be attached inconspicuously to clothing as a clip-on microphone and is suitable for use in interviews, documentary film shoots, vlogs, live streams and similar. It is said to offer high reliability and clear, crisp sound recordings.
Sony ECM-L1
The ECM-L1 was developed on the basis of the ECM-77 series microphones, which have been in use for many years in broadcasting stations and other facilities. The fixed electrode plate of the microphone capsule is made of hard ceramic. Its vibration characteristics are designed to ensure excellent sound quality with a good rise time and high resolution. In addition, the capsule is encased in milled brass to suppress unwanted external resonances. The brass housing also protects against wear and tear as well as harsh conditions on location.
The cable made of high-purity, oxygen-free copper (OFC) is designed to reduce losses during audio transmission and, with a diameter of 2.2 mm, is break-proof (length 1.2 m). A locking ring at the connection point to the recording device prevents the plug from accidentally coming loose.

The ECM-L1 lavalier microphone supports a plug-in power supply, i.e. it can be powered via the connected device. It can be connected to a variety of devices3 that have a 3.5mm microphone input, such as cameras, smartphones, wireless microphones, IC recorders and computers.
Two types of windscreen are included to reduce wind and breath noise: one made of metal and one made of synthetic fur.
Price and availability
The ECM-L1 lavalier microphone will be available from October 2024 for 299.00 euros.
