Sony 680S Stereo Shotgun Microphone

Excellent Sound Quality:

The ECM-680S uses the Mid-Side (MS) technique that offers natural stereo sound and excellent localization. Equipped with newly developed large diaphragm microphone capsules with bi-directional characteristics, the ECM-680S delivers superb sensitivity and extremely low inherent noise.

Stereo and Monaural Switchable:

The ECM-680S can operate in either stereo or monaural (uni-directional) mode, allowing it to be used in both EFP and ENG applications. Stereo mode is ideal for capturing environmental sound with natural sound quality, while monaural mode is ideal for clearly capturing voice and sound from a distance. These modes can be selected from the switch on the microphone or from compatible Sony professional camcorders. The LED on the microphone lights up when the ECM-680S is set to stereo mode, to easily notify the user that operating mode is currently selected

Flat-and-Wide Frequency Response:

The ECM-680S microphone has a flat-and wide frequency response in both stereo and monaural modes (50 Hz to 20 kHz (stereo)/40 Hz to 20 kHz (monaural)), and will provide sound reproduction that is extremely smooth and natural.

Built-in Low Cut Filter:

The built-in two-position (M,V) low cut switch provides a simple method of reducing the effects of undesired ambient noise. With its compact and lightweight design the ECM-680S has been designed to be a compact yet high-performance stereo shotgun microphone, ideal for camera mounted use. It measures only 9 7/8 inches in length and weighs less than 4.9 oz, maintaining good balance and mobility.
