Sony ECM-673 Short Shotgun Microphone Location Recording Kit

Designed as a complete microphone setup for location recording in budget film work and broadcasting, electronic news gathering (ENG), and field production applications, this Fotohaus Klinger Kit eliminates the guesswork in configuring a shotgun microphone system that offers quality, reliability, and switchable low-cut filtering while remaining cost effective.

It features the Sony ECM-673 short shotgun microphone, a furry windshield, a universal shoe/pole shockmount, a pistol grip, an aluminum cabled boompole, a boompole bag, and short and long right-angled XLR cables to provide the you with everything necessary for capturing audio for video, film, and sound design applications.

With a compact form and smooth tone, the Sony ECM-673 shotgun microphone offers strong, clean output signal for event video shoots, indie film production, TV and documentary shooting, court room depositions, and more. Plus, its 7.9" long body is short enough to be placed atop a camera while maintaining focused directional behavior and keeping out of the camera's view.

The ECM-673 features a supercardioid polar pattern for excellent directivity and minimal noise at the off-axis sections of the capsule, resulting in intelligible voice pickup even in noisy environments. The microphone's wide, flat frequency response yields natural, accurate signal reproduction with crisp detail and minimal coloration.

The ECM-673 runs on 40 to 52 VDC phantom power, making it compatible with a variety of professional camcorders, multitrack field recorders, and portable audio recorders. It includes microphone spacers and a mic holder to accommodate camera-mount and stand-mount configurations.

The ECM-673 has been designed as a highly directional, compact, and lightweight shotgun microphone, measuring 7.9" in length and weighing just 4.8 ounces to ensure good balance even when mounted on compact camcorders.

With its flat and wide frequency response of 40 Hz to 20 kHz, the ECM-673 provides sound reproduction that is smooth and natural.

The ECM-673 offers an excellent sensitivity of -36 dB and low self-noise level of less than 17 dB SPL, allowing the microphone to be used for clear voice capture even in noisy environments.
