Ideal for recording audio outdoors with compact camcorders or boom poles.

The ECM-VG1 is specifically designed for professional field and studio production applications at an affordable price.

It is extremely lightweight and comes with an innovative windscreen that reduces wind noise, making it an ideal choice for recording audio outdoors with a compact camcorder or on a boom pole.

Excellent Sound Quality

The ECM-VG1 offers exceptionally smooth and natural sound reproduction. It features 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 below 18 dB SPL.

Compact and Ultra-Lightweight Design with Metal Body

Designed as an ultra-lightweight shotgun microphone, the ECM-VG1 maintains good balance even when mounted on compact camcorders.

Built-In Low-Cut Filter

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

Operation with External DC Power (40 to 52 V)

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

Innovative Windscreen

The ECM-VG1 comes with an innovative windscreen that features an internal frame for secure mounting, creating space between the microphone and the outer side of the windscreen, helping to suppress strong wind noise. It also protects the ECM-VG1 from handling noise in harsh operating conditions such as outdoor shoots.
