Sony ECM-674 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 as well as compatibility with boompole and camera-mount configurations.

It features the Sony ECM-674 battery-/phantom-powered 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 form and tone well suited for event video shoots, indie film production, TV and documentary shooting, court room depositions, and more, the Sony ECM-674 shotgun microphone offers strong, clean output signal for recording with camcorders, multitrack field recorders, and portable audio recorders.

The ECM-674 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 smooth, accurate signal reproduction with crisp detail and minimal coloration.

The ECM-674 can be powered with a single AA battery (available separately) or 40 to 52 VDC phantom power, making it compatible with a variety of consumer and professional devices. It includes microphone spacers and a mic holder to accommodate camera-mount and stand-mount configurations.

The ECM-674 has been designed as a highly directional and lightweight shotgun microphone, measuring 10.6" in length and weighing 6.5 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-674 provides sound reproduction that is smooth and natural.

The ECM-674 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.
