Sony Mini Stereo Condenser Microphone

[Black] It's amazing, a mini ball-head for a microphone. It's used in a hanging position and helps get your mics in position for stereo recording or an A/B mic comparison setup.

[Plug-In Power] A really solid, wonderful stereo microphone.

[0.055 lb] I you need a release cable that has a stereo mini-plug on the actuator end, this is the cable for you. I have used it with a Sony A6000 and A6300 and it works perfectly. The price is good to!

[Large Diaphragm] good basic Large Capsule Condenser Microphone.

[0.075 lb] It is difficult to find stereo lavalier microphone and I am really glad Sony did it. At this price point, I found the sound is surprisingly good. I connect them to Zoom H6 with a stereo plug-in power injector. It comes with foam to reduce wind noise. But in my work, I need a hairy windjammer. So, I sewed two Rycote Lavalier Windjammer together and attached to Sony ECM-LV1. It works perfectly. As this microphone requires plug-in power, you probably need to connect it directly to a camera, or a plug-in power injector with stereo support. I found it is quite difficult to find a good quality PIP injector which support stereo sound. Since this is a stereo microphone, if the microphone is not positioned correctly, its stereo image could be difficult to postprocess. But this is not a unique problem to Sony ECM-LV1. It is true for all stereo lavalier microphone. The clip is rotatable (snaps at 0, 90, 180, and 270 degree). But is a bit on the loose side, plasticky, and it cannot be removed. Overall, given this price point, I really like the sound quality of the microphone. It beat many microphones with similar price range.

[0.105 lb] The Sony ECM-XYST1M Stereo Microphone easily fit my Sony Handycam HDR-CX900. There was a big improvement in recorded audio over the internal multidirectional microphone. The audio is clearer with a higher signal to noise ratio. I would recommend this product.

[5/8" Receiver] Use this to hold up my Blue Condenser Microphone. It's impressive because the microphone is extremely heavy #sweepstakes

[Yes] Connection of stereo microphone to XLR inputes

[11 AWG] I have a Sony wireless microphone set but recently i have been using my Canon 5D mark 2 to do video and the kit came with XLR connections. This mini to mini with locking connection allows me to plug directly into my Canon without having to use an XLR to mini converter

[0.1 lb] Absolutely fantastic stereo mic holder. I’m using it for two Soyuz 013 small diaphragm condenser microphones. The hardware is all metal and extremely solid feeling. The distance and angle markings are easily legible and it is easy to adjust. The fittings feel very snug and secure. I’m Very happy with this and imo it’s so much nicer than anything I was able to find at a similar price point.
