About Sony ECM-100U

While designed for the discerning audiophile and professional sound engineer, the Sony ECM-100U High-Resolution Cardioid Uni-Directional Electret Condenser Microphone stands out in the realm of studio-quality instrument recording. This microphone is fully compatible with High-Resolution Audio, ensuring that every nuance of sound is captured with precision.

Crafted with a state-of-the-art, newly developed small diaphragm microphone capsule, the ECM-100U boasts uni-directional characteristics that authentically reproduce the intricate sound of musical instruments with exceptionally low distortion. The innovative design of this microphone ensures that the true essence of the instrument's sound is recorded, providing a pure and natural audio experience.

The ECM-100U's advanced noise elimination construction is a testament to Sony's commitment to audio excellence. Drawing inspiration from the legendary C-800G microphone, the two-part metallic body structure effectively suppresses acoustic vibration, resulting in remarkably low noise levels and crystal-clear sound output.

With a flat and expansive frequency response ranging from 20 Hz to an impressive 50 kHz, the ECM-100U microphone excels in delivering superior sound reproduction quality that meets the rigorous standards of High-Resolution Audio. This wide frequency response ensures that every detail, from the deepest bass to the highest treble, is faithfully captured.

For environments with challenging acoustics, the ECM-100U is equipped with a Low-Cut filter switch, which aids in the elimination of low-frequency noise and mitigates the proximity effect. Additionally, the microphone features a Pad Switch with an -10dB option, providing extra headroom to handle transient peaks without distortion, thus maintaining the integrity of the audio signal.

In summary, the Sony ECM-100U is a professional, high-quality, and reliable microphone that offers innovative features for capturing high-resolution sound with unparalleled clarity. Its durable construction and precise cardioid polar pattern make it an ideal choice for musicians and audio professionals seeking to record with minimal background noise and maximum audio fidelity.
