ECM-680S Stereo Shotgun Microphone |
|
Overview:
The
Sony ECM-680S is an MS stereo shotgun, electret condenser
microphone, ideal for a broad range of field production and
broadcast studio applications. Incorporating newly developed
microphone capsules, the ECM-680S offers excellent sensitivity, low
inherent noise, and a flat-and-wide frequency response. The most
distinguished feature of the ECM-680S is its switchable operation
between a highly directional monaural mode and stereo mode.
Monaural mode provides highly directional sound pickup, while
stereo mode delivers natural and spatial sound. The MS microphone
signal of the ECM-680S is internally decoded and it provides L and
R (stereo) outputs. The ECM-680S is supplied with a XLR-5-pin to
XLR-5 pin cable for use with 5-pin XLR input equipped camcorders.
The optional K-1504 cable should be used when connecting the
ECM-680S stereo shotgun with camcorders having two 3-pin XLR
inputs.

Benefits: |
| Excellent Sound Quality |
The
ECM-680S uses the Mid-Side (MS) technique that offers natural
stereo sound and excellent localization. Equipped with newly
developed large diaphragm microphone capsules with bi-directional
characteristics, the ECM-680S delivers superb sensitivity and
extremely low inherent noise. |
| Stereo and Monaural Switchable |
The
ECM-680S can operate in either stereo or monaural (uni-directional)
mode, allowing it to be used in both EFP and ENG applications.
Stereo mode is ideal for capturing environmental sound with natural
sound quality, while monaural mode is ideal for clearly capturing
voice and sound from a distance. These modes can be selected from
the switch on the microphone or from compatible Sony professional
camcorders. The LED on the microphone lights up when the ECM-680S
is set to stereo mode, to easily notify the user that operating
mode is currently selected. |
| Flat-and-Wide Frequency Response |
The
ECM-680S microphone has a flat-andwide frequency response (50 Hz to
20 kHz (stereo)/40 Hz to 20 kHz (monaural)) in both stereo and
monaural modes, and will provide sound reproduction that is
extremely smooth and natural. |
| Built-in Low Cut Filter |
The
built-in two-position (M,V) low cut switch provides a simple method
of reducing the effects of undesired ambient noise. |
| Compact and Lightweight Design |
The
ECM-680S has been designed to be a compact yet high-performance
stereo shotgun microphone, ideal for camera mounted use. It
measures only 9 7/8 inches in length and weighs less than 4.9 oz,
maintaining good balance and mobility. |
