What is the Sony ECM-100N best suited for?
The ECM-100N is an omni-directional electret condenser microphone ideal for instrument recording in the studio, and it excels at capturing both direct sound and the natural room ambience echoing in a space. Its extended response also makes it well suited to high-resolution music production.
Does the ECM-100N support High-Resolution Audio recording?
Yes. The ECM-100N is compatible with High-Resolution Audio, thanks to a newly developed microphone capsule that delivers a flat, wide frequency response of 20 to 50,000 Hz.
What polar pattern does the ECM-100N use?
The ECM-100N uses an omni-directional polar pattern, picking up sound evenly from all directions around the capsule. This makes it ideal for capturing the raw sound echoing in a space and the full acoustic character of instruments.
What power and connection does the ECM-100N require?
The ECM-100N is a phantom-powered electret condenser microphone requiring external DC 44–52 V (IEC 61938 P48). It connects via a balanced XLR-3 output connector for professional audio setups.
Can the ECM-100N handle loud sound sources like drums or brass?
Yes. The ECM-100N handles a maximum input SPL of 145 dB SPL or greater at 1% THD, allowing use on loud sources with low distortion. A selectable -10 dB pad switch provides extra headroom for high-level transient peaks.
Does the ECM-100N have any onboard filtering options?
Yes. The ECM-100N features a selectable low-cut (high-pass) filter to reduce low-frequency noise, rumble, and unwanted proximity effect, helping maintain clarity when recording close to sources or in less controlled environments.
How is the ECM-100N built to reduce self-noise?
The ECM-100N uses a two-part metallic body structure derived from Sony's C-800G design, which reduces acoustic vibration and self-noise for cleaner sound. Its self-noise is rated at 21 dB SPL A-weighted or lower.
How much does the Sony ECM-100N cost?
MSRP is listed as $1,299.99. Given that, these models can go on sale from time to time, and there are several other opportunities to save on price like through their group discounts for education, healthcare and military/veterans (ID.me & Unidays) along with their free loyalty program that gives up to 5% back in points.
