Consistent Audio at Varying Distances

The ECM-778 maintains stable frequency and directivity performance across a wide range of recording distances. Whether boom-mounted in a tight space or attached to a camera in the field, it provides accurate, high-quality sound without compromise.

Compact, Durable, and Lightweight

At just 7 inches and 3.6 kg, the ECM-778 is ideal for mobile productions. The humidity-resistant machined aluminium chassis offers a lightweight yet rugged shell that shields the mic from vibration and electrical interference, all while keeping a low profile for handheld or on-camera use.

Professional Features for Any Environment

A low-cut filter switch on the mic body provides wind and rumble reduction at the source, and two included windscreens (foam and fur) allow you to adapt for indoor or outdoor conditions. Internally, premium film capacitors and resistors deliver ultralow noise and high dynamic range with minimum circuit size.
