Audio Solutions for Content Creators: Sony ECM-W3 and ECM-S1 Microphones

[@DokoGaTV]

I love the MI connection vs having to use a mic cable. I wish it had 32-bit float recording and some screen of some sort to be able to see levels, etc.

[@UrszulaGrazyna-hs2jo]

Yes Sir. The new Sony wireless microphones should be like new in 2021 now 32 bit float recording and screen and noise reduction in this kind of microphones should be obvious. I couldn’t wait for this kind of mic, but… I will use my Sennhheiser ew G4 until Sony release 🎤 with 32-bit etc. etc.

[@MBrown]

Was hoping to get this, but the mic doesn’t sound all that great? Both sound way too flat

[@DavidStella]

I like the convenience but silabance seems pretty bad coming off these mics, especially with the ECM-S1.

[@AngeloPoulis22]

Is it true that you can adjust the input gain of the receiver, u can only choose 0-10-20 and thats it? also if yes, when connected digitally to a sony camera, can you still adjust the input gain volume in the camera, or that option is disabled? thanks

[@jchen_tech]

Does anyone know if you can connect multiple S1 mics to a single receiver?

[@countdracula2533]

Does the W3 power on and be ready to use fast? Or do you have to wait for the wireless system to connect?

[@TonyHoangPodcast]

Is the connection magnetic?

[@jaredkim2034]

Suggest making something like what RODE Wireless Go Pro is doing. Then make the reciever compatible with the MI Shoe. The transmitter have recording timecode synced to the reciever on the camera/to the camera settings and records thru micro SD or something. It would be perfect

[@ao_aviator]

Can you record on the mic without connecting to the Sony camera? Example on the mobile and computer setup?

[@AWAShowme]

No they don't. Many content creators only ask for questions to encourage engagement. They won't answer unfortunately.

[@z352kdaf8324]

crystal clear audio appears to relate only to wireless transmission. There is no way to set the audio level in digital mode - so you will get a "hiss". You'd have to use a cable to set the mic rec level in camera.

[@djcrazygatl]

Ok wait the Rode Wireless Go Pro has a backup recording system, has a input for lavalier Microphones which is so important for clients as they don’t like a bulky piece right on their chest specially female clients because of outfits. Also no screen on the receivers 😟 and the Rose has more battery juice. I love Sony but I thought they were coming about the Rode or Dji so maybe in in the next version Sony 😢 maybe on the next one and I almost forgot no 32bit float recording codec 😭

[@denizahmet2299]

S1 sounded really thin and bland, can't lie.

[@morrisgetman9827]

It’s ‘cause it was recording with the low cut on. What a pity.

[@denizahmet2299]

@@morrisgetman9827 Why would Sony publish this on their own channel if that where true?

[@nickdual]

I don't why is more expensive than the others, its sound is even worse.

[@kwangc6720]

If this is the quality that is from the mic, I'd say it's pretty bad. Sounds like someone cranked up the treble. I don't hear the bass that I was hoping for. It loses out to a 10x cheaper mic pinned to your shirt.

[@punshulsingh8247]

the person is using RODE mic to make this video, see his collar

[@AWAShowme]

Haha These content creators say we should ask questions, but they seldom answer. They only want engagement for the algorithm.
