Micro-cravate Sony ECM-LV1 noir

The versatile lavalier microphone
High-quality digital audio with an unobtrusive design

The ECM-LV1 is a versatile lavalier microphone suitable for a variety of situations and uses. It works with diverse electronic devices and is designed to be visually unobtrusive, so it can be positioned close to the speaker's mouth for optimal audio pickup.

Clear stereo sound
With the ECM-LV1 you don't have to worry about directional microphone placement. The omnidirectional mic capsules at the heart of the ECM-LV1 provide clear, high-quality sound with pickup from all directions.

Works in combination with the ECM-W2BT
The ECM-LV1 can make your shooting less stressful when used in conjunction with the ECM-W2BT. Connect the ECM-LV1 to the ECM-W2BT and a camera compatible with Digital Audio Interface for stress-free recording, without worrying about the distance or the direction of the camera.

Ready to use with a variety of devices
In addition to cameras and camcorders, the ECM-LV1 allows flexible use with a number of other electronic devices. It works with devices equipped with an external mic input such as PCs and digital voice recorders.

Sophisticated design

Flexible attachment with a 360-degree rotating clip
The flexible rotating clip lets you attach the microphone at any convenient angle. It allows any orientation from horizontal, for a necktie or lapel, to vertical for a pocket clip.

Simple, unobtrusive design
Small in size at just 32mm in length and 11mm in diameter, the plain black ECM-LV1 is simple in form as well as highly mobile. It's designed to be unnoticeable when attached to clothing, in order to be useful in a variety of shooting situations.

Wind screen to minimise wind noise when shooting outdoors
The ECM-LV1 comes with a wind screen designed to reduce the impact of both wind noise and the speaker's breath sounds. The result is clear and stable sound recording even when shooting outdoors on a windy day.

Battery-free recording
When used with equipment that provides plug-in power, the ECM-LV1 can run on power supplied by the microphone connector, enabling operation without a battery.

How to use

Attach the ECM-LV1 to clothing using the 360-degree rotating clip, positioning the microphone close to the speaker’s mouth for best pickup. Connect the 3.5 mm plug to a compatible external mic input on a camera, camcorder, PC or digital voice recorder. If your device provides plug-in power, the microphone will operate without a battery. Fit the supplied wind screen when recording outdoors to reduce wind and breath noise.

Recommendations

For optimal results, place the mic 15–20 cm from the speaker’s mouth, avoid rubbing the mic against clothing, and use the wind screen in outdoor or windy conditions. When pairing with the ECM-W2BT wireless system and a camera with Digital Audio Interface compatibility, connect the ECM-LV1 to the transmitter to reduce cable constraints during shoots.
