Overview
With built in Bluetooth function. the ECM-W2BT is supported by the aptX low latency connectivity to deliver an incredible 200 metres range with minimal risk to interruption. In a compact and light design. the advanced microphone capsule is dust and moisture resistant* with 3.5mm input on the transmitter for an external microphone and a 3.5mm output on the receiver to connect other devices.
The ideal wireless microphone for vlogging
Take the hassle out of vlog and interview audio with the wireless ECM-W2BT. Because it's wireless. it allows stress-free shooting and delivers clear audio in diverse environments. without worrying about the direction of the mic or the distance from the mic.
Clear audio pickup from any direction
The ECM-W2BT can be positioned close to the speaker's mouth with a clip. The omnidirectional mic capsule also helps to pick up your voice clearly wherever it's coming from. so there's no need to worry about which way the unit is facing.
Effective noise suppression during audio transmission
Unlike conventional analogue audio transmission. you’ll never need to worry about cable signal interference. Just pair the ECM-W2BT with any Sony camera that supports a Digital Audio Interface via a Multi Interface (MI) Shoe for clear. low-noise. all-digital audio.
Simple audio optimisation for any source
An attenuator function lets you easily adjust recording levels appropriately to match the source. Simply flip a switch to reduce the level of very loud sounds or amplify quiet ones. for optimised audio levels.
Clear sound even outdoors in the wind
The unit comes with a wind screen. allowing comfortable recording when shooting outside. Just attach the wind screen to the mic. and it effectively reduces wind noise as well as breath noise. for clear and stable sound even when shooting outdoors on a windy day.
Stable transmission between microphone and receiver
Qualcomm® aptX™ Low Latency* Bluetooth® codec is used for transmission between the microphone and receiver units. ensuring low latency and undiminished audio quality. It helps avoid the stress of having to re-record audio due to interruptions in the recorded sound. and low latency enables better matching of the audio track with the video imagery.
