Electret Condenser Microphone

Electret Condenser Microphone
The extremely lightweight and newly developed windscreen make this microphone
ideal for field sound shooting with compact camcorders or attached to boom poles.

Outstanding Sound Quality

The ECM-VG1 is specifically designed for professional field and studio production
applications at an affordable price. It offers a flat-and-wide frequency response
(40 Hz to 20 kHz), excellent sensitivity of -33 dB (0 dB=1 V/Pa), and a low inherent
noise level of less than 18 dB SPL. It delivers exceptionally smooth and natural sound
reproduction.

Compact and Extremely Lightweight Design with Metal Body

Designed as an extremely lightweight shotgun microphone, the ECM-VG1 maintains good
balance even when mounted on compact camcorders.
• Weight: 2.3 oz (66 g), 3.2 oz (92 g) with windscreen
• Length: 8 3/8 inches (210 mm), 9 1/8 inches (230 mm) with windscreen

Built-in Low-cut Filter

The built-in two-position (M, V) low-cut switch provides a simple method of reducing the
effects of unwanted ambient noise.

External DC (40 to 52 V) Operation

The ECM-VG1 provides an electronically balanced output operation on 48 V standard
external power.

Newly Developed Windscreen

The ECM-VG1 comes with a newly developed windscreen. An internal frame fixes
the windscreen rigidly, making a space between the microphone and the outside
part of the windscreen. It suppresses strong wind noise and protects the ECM-VG1
from the contact noise that is typical in harsh operational environments such as
outdoor applications.
