*Available with the XLR-K3M, ECM-B10, ECM-B1M and ECM-W2BT.
The ECM-B10’s next-generation digital signal processor (DSP) and beamforming technology enables enhanced super-directional recording and adaptable noise filtering, for next level audio recordings.
Digital brilliance. Clarity. Ultra-compactness.
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.
sound recording
with super directivity
1. 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.
2. Versatile multi-directivity sound recording
The 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.
3. Ultra-compact form factor with super directivity
While 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.
4. Noise-cut filter
The 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.
Multidirectional
-
Super-directional
Super-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.
-
Unidirectional
Unidirectional 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.
-
Omnidirectional
Omnidirectional 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.
Super-directional
Super-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.
Unidirectional
Unidirectional 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.
Omnidirectional
Omnidirectional 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.
