The ECM-FT5 Flat-Shape Electret Condenser Lavalier Microphone from Sony features an omnidirectional polar pattern, wide frequency response, and a 3-pin XLR connector for use with video cameras, PA systems, mixers, and recording devices.
The ECM-FT5 capsule's unobtrusive yet rugged metal construction features a flat shape for easy concealment underneath clothing. The microphone is shipped with a carrying case, windscreen, tie clip, and taping mount.
Flat Shape Makes it Easy to Hide
The slim 4.9mm profile of the ECM-FT5 microphone is designed to be easily concealed under clothing and the contour of the mic helps prevent noise pickup from garments.
Professional-Quality Sound Reproduction
This microphone has a 40 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response and a sensitivity of -43 dB with a noise level of less than 26 dB SPL.
XLR Connector
The ECM-FT5B cable terminates with an XLR connector.
Windscreen
A small windscreen is used to suppress strong wind noise
Water-Resistant Design
A moisture repellent screen covers the microphone aperture that helps to prevent sweat and dampness from entering the mic case
Tie Clip and Taping Mount
A tie clip attaches the microphone to a pocket, button-hole, or other parts of a garment. A taping mount can attach the microphone directly to the fabrics.
Carrying Case
The included case provides a robust housing for the ECM-FT5 microphone and its accessories
