Product description

The Sony ECM-678 is an electret condenser shotgun microphone with a supercardioid pattern. It offers a wide 40 Hz – 20 kHz frequency range and a high sensitivity of −28 dB with very low self-noise. The 250 mm, approx. 200 g microphone is powered with 48 V via its XLR-3 connector and comes with a windscreen, holder and carrying case.

Tight directivity in 250 mm

The supercardioid pattern picks up the source in front of the microphone and rejects sound from the sides. Yet it is only 250 mm long and weighs approx. 200 g, so it suits a smaller rig too.

SUPERCARDIOID40 Hz – 20 kHzXLR-348 V

Windscreen and holder included

The microphone comes with a windscreen, a microphone holder, two stand adaptors, two microphone spacers and a short XLR cable for camera connection. Everything packs into the carrying case.

Self-noise of 16 dB SPL or less

Low self-noise and a signal-to-noise ratio of at least 78 dB pay off above all in quiet scenes, interviews and ambience, where hiss would otherwise be audible.

Sensitivity of −28 dB

High sensitivity delivers a strong signal, so the camera or recorder preamp does not need to add as much gain. The dynamic range is at least 111 dB and the microphone handles up to 127 dB SPL.

48 V power

The microphone is powered from an external DC 48 V ±4 V supply through its XLR-3-12C connector.

Balanced 200 Ω output

Output impedance of 200 Ω ±20% on a balanced output, the standard for professional microphone inputs.
