View warranty terms and conditionsThe Sony ECM-B1M is an ultracompact digital shotgun microphone designed for video creators using Sony cameras with a Multi Interface Shoe. Its main advantage is the integrated digital audio interface, which allows transmitting a digital audio signal directly to the camera through the shoe, resulting in superior sound quality and greater clarity in your recordings.
This microphone is compatible with Sony cameras that have the standard Multi Interface Shoe, offering a selectable digital/analog output to adapt to different models. As a second-hand product, it has been inspected and comes with the Camera Market warranty, giving you peace of mind in your purchase.

The Sony ECM-B1M is an ultra-compact camera-mount digital shotgun microphone designed for mobile video creators working with Sony cameras equipped with the Multi Interface Shoe. Released alongside the a7R IV, which benefits from its built-in Digital Audio Interface, the ECM-B1M is able to produce its best quality by delivering a digital audio stream directly to the camera through the Multi Interface Shoe. Other Sony cameras with the standard Multi Interface Shoe can still make use of the microphone as there is a selectable digital/analog output.
- Standard 6-month warranty
Which cameras are compatible with the Sony ECM-B1M?
The ECM-B1M is designed for Sony cameras with a Multi Interface Shoe. For the best digital audio quality, it is recommended to use it with cameras that support the digital audio interface, such as the a7R IV series. Other cameras with the standard Multi Interface Shoe can also use it via the selectable analog output.
How is the microphone connected to the camera?
The microphone connects directly to the camera's Multi Interface Shoe, without the need for additional cables. The physical connection provides both power and audio transmission.
What advantages does the digital output offer over the analog one?
The digital output transmits the audio signal directly to the camera without additional conversion, reducing noise and improving clarity. The analog output is useful for cameras that do not support the digital interface, maintaining good performance.
Does the microphone include any accessories?
The product is second-hand and may not include original accessories. It is recommended to check the condition of the item in the store. The Camera Market warranty covers the operation of the microphone.
