Sony ECM-778 sets new standard for audio technology

Sony launches the ECM-778 shotgun mic with immersive audio quality and new CFexpress Type A cards offering top speeds

Sony recently announced the launch of its ECM-778 shotgun microphone. Designed for content production where audio quality is of paramount importance, such as films, dramas and documentaries, this flagship high-resolution model delivers immersive, high-quality audio recordings. The microphone offers versatile mounting options, whether it’s fixed to a boom pole or directly attached to compatible cameras.

The ECM-778 features a newly developed microphone capsule, a brass acoustic tube and a specially designed electronic circuit board for superior sound quality, that together enable high-quality recording with clear, spacious high frequencies and stable mid-low frequencies. Despite its compact size of 176mm in length and weighing just 102g, the ECM-778 achieves excellent forward directivity, providing greater user flexibility when recording in confined spaces.

Additionally, Sony is launching CFexpress Type A cards for both its Cinema Line and Alpha mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras: the CEA-G1920T (1920GB) and CEA-G960T (960GB), along with the MRW-G3 CFexpress Type A card reader. These CFexpress 4-compatible products achieve read speeds exceeding 1800MB/s and a storage capacity of up to 1920GB.
