Originally I was going to buy a Sony A6000 but when I saw you could not add an external microphone I totally changed my mind and I bought the Sony A63000. In retrospect I see Sony has come up with an EXTERNAL Microphone solution, the ECM-XYST1M. It is a nice little package for an external consumer microphone package. Wind rejection is not great even with the windscreen but the up side is, it gives you a mode where you can separate the microphones by 120 degrees which creates a sound space similar to how your ears pick up and hear. If you go record a consort or acoustical set you won't be too disappointed as long as there isn't a lot of ambient noise in the room or bass (low frequency harmonics). I was extremely impressed with it's stereo separation in the 120 degree mode. Overall for the price it isn't bad and it is a great little tool to have in your bag of tricks. I am looking for a gadget similar to this that I can review that will adapt to the Sony Multi Shoe and will allow you to plug in a microphone of your choice. Maybe I just gave someone an idea?
In this video I test the SONY A6300 Audio with it's internal microphone and then test it against the SONY ECM-XYST1M in
0 degree mode and 120 degree mode. Hang in for the comparison.

Hi Stuart. Thank you for dropping a note. I really like this mic for ambient spacial sound. In the 70's I was into recording Binaural Audio. Meaning: Binaural audio is a recording technique that uses two microphones to create a 3D stereo sound effect that mimics how humans naturally perceive sound. The goal is to make the listener feel like they are in the same room as the performers or instruments or sounds around them. This microphone allows you to adjust their angles to achieve the best spacial space that you want. If you have a Sony camera with the proper hot shoe it will automatically pair /connect with that device. So nice to know someone is as interested in proper sound capture as I am. Thank you for writing. Please consider liking this video, giving it a thumbs up and possibly subscribing to the channel.

TIP #01: to better isolate the windscreen from the rear (where wind can blow into) I bought some cheap thick elastic hair bands from a dollar store... and wrapped to of them around the rear of the windscreen... they worked perfectly and now there is no bleed of wind from that area of the mic.

Glad I could help, but it is all dependent on how sensitive your ears are. I used to sell stereo equipment and people could not tell the difference between a $200 dollar and $1000 system. It is all subject to you, and I won't debate it but there is a difference. It may be undetectable to the untrained ear but there is a difference. As we say in retail "The customer is always RIGHT!!!"

1. If you connect the ECM-XYST1M with the supplied cord to the mic input of the camera, you can make use of audio manual control (if the camera has that). Otherwise, working via the top connector only the audio is automatic gain control. Manual control of audio is defeated. 2. I have heard that if you plug in a mic into the exterenal "output" connector of the mic housing, the camera will use that mic rather than the built-in ones. Sounds unbelievable, but that is what is claimed. So, for the Sony cameras without a mic input (a6000), you can choose mics to use.

+markr041. You are correct about using the cable. On a Sony 6000 it will only work automatic mode. On the 6300 the Mic is in auto once you pop it 6300on the top. If you plug in the supplied cable you can use the Mic in manual. Thank you for reiterating for people so they will understand the concept better.

markr041 Hi Mark, I too have the a6000 and I've had a terrible time trying to decide on an audio solution. Are you saying if I get the ECM XYST1M, I can also plug in for example a rode mic into it? Also in this set up will I need an external recorder like a Zoom? Any advice is appreciated! Thanks

Thanks for the video, just ordered an open box from Amazon Warehouse for $85. I noticed my RX10M3 has zoom noise while recording. Wonder if this will help prevent the noticeable breathing in my recordings. Thanks for making the video. I had to jump back in forth between the spots in your video to compare side by side. Friendly suggestion would be to edit your video next time with the comparisons back to back. So you go directly from hearing built in mic, direct forward and 120 recording. Luckily youtube allows for mini video preview so I scrolled back to the three areas easily to compare more easily with less time between the different modes. Thanks for taking the time to make this.

I like it and the audio sounds fine to me. I really haven't tried many A/B comparisons of what way I have the mic setup. Between the new baby and work I haven't had much time to fiddle with the new camera hardware. I have left the mic on the camera 24/7 though as it does help with not recording in body noise and my breathing. I also found the mic works fine on my 4k Panasonic camcorder with included mic cable. I don't get alerts to youtube responses so sorry for the delayed response. Thanks again for the video.

Hi Scott, I hope you can find it. If not I believe there is an aftermarket hot shoe that goes on the Sony that allows you to plug in a 3.5 mm mini plug into it. From there you can plug in just about any audio accessory like wireless, shotgun and handheld microphones.

Yes it is. It will give you nice spatial separation and sound but don't forget to do a test first and peak at around -12db. You do not want to over saturate your cameras audio input. If you are unsure You can set the camera audio on auto. You have to accept one thing though, although it does sound good for an external camera Mic, it will not give you the results of 2 high end studio microphones properly placed and mixed.

Its convenient, and a nice try from Sony to cut out other microphone manufacturers...

I agree 100%. It was also successful but it isn’t a true shotgun mic but an excellent stereo mic.

So you don't need to plug the wire that comes with it if you have the Sony a6300?

Hi Lenard, If you just run it from the Hot Shoe on top of the camera by just popping it on the top it will only run on your A6300 in AGC. If you use the cord you can run the audio in manual. I hope this helps!!!

Chester Lee I don't believe the hot shoe connection will work as that is Sony proprietary but the mini cable should work if your camera has a stereo 3.5 mini input.

Yes, the SONY ECM-XYST1M EXTERNAL MICROPHONE is kind of an extension of your camera microphone in simple terms, but more sensitive and giving you the option of varying the receiving angle. Your internal microphone is buried inside the camera's case. It only allows sound to enter its capsule from the front, no real side lobes. The SONY ECM-XYST1M EXTERNAL MICROPHONE gives you the option to receive sound in a much freer environment and also gives you the opportunity to set the microphone spacing further apart to give you better stereo separation more like your ears as opposed to the sound coming into the 2 individual capsules in a parallel manner. The ECM-GZ1 is a shotgun/zoom microphone. It narrows the field of sound capture and focuses the sound in a smaller tighter area of pick up. It electronically changes the tube focus to appear to zoom in on the sound. For a better visualization on this watch these videos: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nmSvhHikfpiepZI kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWrGgWSNfbFjkNE watch this one starting at 16:58 although the entire video is great information. My shotgun microphone choice presently is Sennheiser MKE 400 you can see the video @ kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKLOqqVvhqpshJo I hope this helps and answers you questions.

It all depends on your application needs. Possibly you need one of each. They both have different uses and sound qualities. Honestly, I tried the Sony ECM-GZ1M, I was not impressed.

thanks I was thinking maybe the stereo XYS one for walking in the city and events, and then only for sports and zooming far away get the shotgun GZ1 to pick up sounds on the field, since i wont need to do interviews i really wouldnt need to use shotgun much

If you feel you want good stereo separation you might want to own this. It all depends on your recording wants, needs and specifications. Some people are happy with a 20 dollar shotgun microphone, others might spend thousands. It all depends what you need for quality in a microphone.
