Sony ECMXYST1M Stereo Microphone (Black)

The Sony ECMXYST1M stereo microphone is a high-quality microphone that offers improved audio for Sony cameras and camcorders. It is compatible with a range of Sony models, including the Sony Alpha a6000, the pxw-x70, and the Sony A3000. Customers have reported that the microphone fits perfectly on the Sony Alpha a6000, despite a previous customer's complaint. There is a cover for the connector that needs to be removed before attaching it to the camera, which some customers may not have been aware of. A Sony spokesperson also confirmed that the microphone is compatible with the a6000. The microphone is also compatible with other Sony models such as the pxw-x70 and the A3000, as they both feature a multi-interface shoe. However, it is important to note that the microphone cannot be used with the mic out on a Nikon d610, as it requires power from the hot shoe wiring. In terms of audio quality, customers have praised the microphone for its superb sound quality. It significantly improves the audio quality of Sony cameras and camcorders, particularly in outdoor environments where wind noise can be an issue. The built-in windscreen effectively reduces wind noise. However, there are a few drawbacks to Consider. Some customers have reported Constant white noise when using the microphone, which can be removed with noise removal software but can be tedious. Additionally, the microphone has a strong bass response in "normal" mode, which may require the use of the built-in low-cut option to cut the lows. Overall, the Sony ECMXYST1M stereo microphone is a great choice for those looking to improve the audio quality of their Sony cameras and camcorders. It offers excellent sound quality and is easy to connect to compatible models. However, the Constant white noise and bass response may be drawbacks for some users.
