Sony ECM-778 High-end XLR shotgun microphone 

Sony’s new ECM-778 XLR shotgun microphone delivers broadcast-quality audio with a high-resolution frequency response, capturing crisp highs and a stable low-mid range for balanced, natural sound. Its narrow supercardioid pickup ensures focused front capture with excellent off-axis rejection, while the compact (176 mm) and lightweight (102 g) design makes it ideal for tight boom setups or on-camera use. Built for professional field work, the rugged machined aluminum chassis reduces vibrations and blocks electrical interference, with included foam and fur windscreens for all-weather reliability. A convenient low-cut filter on the body helps tame wind and handling noise at the source, ensuring clear, clean recordings in any environment.

PRECISE DIRECTIONALITY: With a narrow frontal pickup and excellent off-axis rejection, this super cardioid shotgun mic ensures focused sound capture while minimising ambient and rear noise — ideal for dialogue and location recording.             

BROADCAST-QUALITY AUDIO: Featuring a high-resolution frequency response with extended highs and stable low-mid balance, it delivers natural, clear audio suitable for film, TV, voiceover, and content creation.           

COMPACT & LIGHTWEIGHT DESIGN: At just 176 mm and 102 g, it’s optimised for boom operation in tight spaces and smooth on-camera integration, offering versatility across studio and field environments.     

ROBUST, WEATHER-READY BUILD: Its machined aluminium chassis reduces external vibrations and shields against electrical interference. Paired with foam and fur windscreens, it’s built for reliable performance in any environment.

BUILT-IN LOW-CUT FILTER: An onboard switchable low-cut filter effectively attenuates low-frequency rumble from wind or handling, ensuring cleaner recordings at the source.
