The ECM-778 is a professional XLR shotgun microphone ideal for boom or on-camera use, offering excellent overall resolution with clear highs and well-defined low to mid range, while being small, lightweight, and highly mobile.
A newly developed microphone capsule, machined brass acoustic tube, and refined circuitry achieve pristine, neutral audio capture, supporting Hi-Res Audio with well-defined low-mid range and clear highs, capturing natural nuances of voices, instruments, and environmental sounds.
An advanced microphone capsule and acoustic tube create a precise phase interference system that attenuates side and rear pickup. Exceptional super-cardioid directivity focuses on the front, capturing desired sound clearly while minimizing ambient noise with smooth overall response.
The unique capsule and acoustic tube combination minimizes frequency and directivity variations at different recording distances, ensuring high audio quality whether the microphone is on a camera, boom, or in a studio installation.
Top-quality film capacitors and metal film resistors in the signal path maximize clarity and accuracy. Conductive polymer aluminum capacitors in the power supply provide high capacity and wide dynamic range. A machined aluminum chassis protects the capsule and blocks electrical noise for pure sound.
The ECM-778 achieves extraordinary performance in a compact 176 mm (7 inch) unit. Its acoustic tube and miniature circuitry allow boom mounting in tight spaces or camera mounting without obstructing the frame.
An easily accessible low-cut switch reduces wind noise and vibration, facilitating clear and intelligible recording in any environment.
The microphone includes foam and fur wind screens. Foam is ideal for indoor use with little wind, while fur offers higher wind attenuation for outdoor conditions.
The machined aluminum shell is lightweight yet durable, with added humidity resistance for consistent performance in challenging conditions.
