Lightweight Shotgun Electret Condenser Microphone
The ECM-VG1 is specifically designed for professional field and studio production applications at an affordable price.
It is extremely lightweight and is supplied with an innovative windscreen that suppresses wind noise, making it a perfect choice for field sound shooting with a compact camcorder or attached to a boom pole.
The built-in two-position (M, V) low-cut switch provides a simple method of reducing the effects of unwanted ambient noise.
The ECM-VG1 is supplied with an innovative windscreen that has an internal frame to rigidly fix the windscreen, creating a space between the microphone and the outside part of the windscreen that helps suppress strong wind noise. It also protects the ECM-VG1 from contact noise in harsh operational environments such as outdoor shooting.
