Lavalier microphone with pro sound quality and reliability
The ECM-L1 Lavalier microphone combines plug-in power compatibility with Sony's time-tested audio technology to deliver clear voice recording, with the excellent sound quality and reliability that professionals demand.
Ceramic back plate for high sound quality
The high rigidity and excellent damping properties of the ceramic back plate ensure superb acoustic properties as well as providing strong electrical stability for low-noise recording under a range of conditions.
Machined brass exterior provides clear, crisp sound
The microphone capsule is enclosed in a machined brass exterior to suppress unwanted extraneous resonances and provide a clear, crisp sound.
OFC cable for reduced transmission losses
The high-purity OFC (Oxygen-Free Copper) cable reduces transmission losses and protects the high sound quality of the recorded audio.
Robust exterior housing
The microphone capsule is covered with the highly robust external brass housing that resists deformation and protects the microphone from damage even under the rigours of on-location use.
Highly reliable cable
The two-core shielded cable suppresses extraneous noise, and its 0.09" diameter makes it resistant to breakage.
Connector with locking ring
A locking ring prevents accidental disconnection and signal disturbance.
Choose from two types of included wind screens
Two types of wind screens, a metal type and a fur type, are included and can reduce pop noise caused by breath and wind. The metal type can be used in situations where the presence of the microphone should be less noticeable, while the fur type can be used in situations where wind noise prevention is a priority.
Unobtrusive design
In addition to the compact size of the body, the logo on the clip is embossed instead of printed, resulting in a design that is elegant but unobtrusive when shooting. It is also ideal for business-oriented video recording.
Plug-in power provides wide connectivity
With a 3.5-mm mini plug providing plug-in power support, the ECM-L1 is designed for an extensive range of uses, including direct connection to α™ cameras or wireless microphone transmitters, letting you clearly capture the speaker's voice on your preferred device without visually obtrusive audio equipment.
Connects to a wide range of non-camera devices
Since it can be connected to a microphone input terminal that supports general plug-in power, this unit can be used with a wide range of devices including IC recorders and smartphones. Higher-quality sound can be recorded by capturing the voice closer to the mouth with this high-performance microphone than by using the device's built-in microphone.

Sony ECM-L1 Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone
The ECM-L1 Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone is designed for the reliability and quality demands of professional use, based on Sony's time-tested audio technology. The 3.5 mm mini plug supports plug-in power for wide compatibility, along with a capsule made for clear voice pick-up.
Superb sound quality for clear recording with high definition
High sound quality from ECM-77 series industry-lauded capsule technology
The capsule of the ECM-L1 is based on the ECM-77 series, widely used and trusted by sound professionals along with Sony's other pro audio products. With the pedigree of the go-to microphone for professional broadcasters in both studios and on location, the ECM-L1 is designed to deliver professional results to a diverse range of creators.
Ceramic back plate for high sound quality
The high rigidity and excellent damping properties of the ceramic back plate ensure superb acoustic properties as well as providing strong electrical stability for low-noise recording under a range of conditions.
Machined brass exterior provides clear, crisp sound
The microphone capsule is enclosed in a machined brass exterior to suppress unwanted extraneous resonances and provide a clear, crisp sound.
OFC cable for reduced transmission losses
The high-purity OFC (Oxygen-Free Copper) cable reduces transmission losses and protects the high sound quality of the recorded audio.
Lavalier microphones ideal for voice recording
Lavalier microphones can be positioned closer to the speaker's mouth, for superior audio pick-up and better audio definition than can be obtained from the built-in microphones in cameras and other devices located further away.
High reliability for recording confidence
Robust exterior housing
The microphone capsule is enclosed in the highly robust external brass housing that resists deformation and protects the microphone from damage even under the rigours of on-location use.
Durable and reliable cable with locking ring1
The 2-core shielded cable suppresses extraneous noise, and its 2.2 mm diameter makes it resistant to breakage. A locking ring prevents accidental disconnection from the recording equipment.
Choose from two types of included wind screens
The included metal and fur wind screens are switchable according to usage and environment. The metal screen is more visually discreet for situations when the microphone needs to be inconspicuous, while the fur screen is better adapted to reducing outdoor wind noise and interference from pop noise.
Unobtrusive design
In addition to the compact size of the body, the logo on the clip is embossed instead of printed, resulting in a design that is elegant but unobtrusive when shooting. It is also ideal for business-oriented video recording.
