Advanced beamforming technology

Digital signal processing using beamforming technology achieves super-directivity, ideal for interviews and selfies, where the sound collection is focused on a narrow range in front of the camera.

Super-directional: focused front area

Ideal for interviews or selfies, the super-directional pattern collects sound from a focused area in front of the microphone, effectively suppressing sounds from off-axis and behind the camera.

Unidirectional: wide frontal range

Perfect for multi-person conversations, the unidirectional pattern captures sound from a wide field in front of the microphone while minimizing pickup from behind.

Sony’s proprietary algorithms enable noise reduction as well as directivity

The ECM-B10 converts analogue sound to digital within the microphone body and performs digital signal processing using Sony’s unique algorithms, enabling three-directional pickup patterns as well as noise reduction. In-body digital conversion also helps to reduce noise inside the microphone.

Noise cut filter using digital signal processing

The ECM-B10’s noise cut filter is very effective at reducing extraneous ambient noises through the use of digital signal processing algorithms, maximizing audio quality at the recording stage and reducing the need for complex post processing.
