Learn how to achieve amazing audio on-the-go with the right settings

An all-new microphone, inside and out

Our beamforming technology – powered by an advanced DSP and multiple microphone capsules – intelligently enhances the microphone’s directional sensitivity to sound, allowing you to capture crystal-clear audio from any direction, in any environment.

In-built digital signal processor (DSP)Our next-generation DSP performs all the digital calculations necessary to differentiate between super-directivity and multi-directivity recording modes, enabling you to capture only the sounds you want audiences to hear.

Ultra-compact form factor with super directivityWhile traditional shotgun microphones need a long body to achieve super-directional recording, the ECM-B10’s can do the same in an ultra-compact form factor, thanks to its beamforming technology.

Versatile multi-directivity sound recordingThe DSP working together with multiple microphone capsules, enhances sensitivity to sound in a desired direction, while reducing sensitivity in other directions – allowing for three types of directivity selections in one microphone.

Noise-cut filterThe ECM-B10’s noise-cut filter works hand-in-hand with its powerful DSP to intelligently – and continuously – listen to what’s being recorded, then filter out excess sounds for crystal clear recordings.

Microphone recording patterns, explained

New to the world of microphones? Learn about multi-directivity, as well as super-directional, unidirectional, and omnidirectional recording patterns.

Super-directionalSuper-directional microphones – like shotgun microphones – are ideal for picking up sound from directly in front of the microphone, making super-directional recording ideal for hearing a person speak when in a noisy environment.

UnidirectionalUnidirectional microphones are good at recording sound from an area in front of the microphone, and are often seen in handheld microphones. These microphones are commonly used for presentations, speeches and vocal performances.

OmnidirectionalOmnidirectional microphones record audio in a full 360-degree spectrum – making these microphones perfect for recording vlogs and two-way conversations, as well as taking in the full atmosphere of a live event, wedding or concert hall.

The ECM-B10’s updated microphone design – with multiple microphone capsules and next-generation DSP – delivers the best of all three worlds with super-directivity and multi-directivity recording capabilities. All this, in a single ultra-compact shotgun microphone.
