The Sony ECM-B1M is an ultra-compact camera-mount digital shotgun microphone designed for mobile video creators working with Sony cameras equipped with the Multi Interface Shoe. Released alongside the a7R IV, which benefits from its built-in Digital Audio Interface, the ECM-B1M is able to produce its best quality by delivering a digital audio stream directly to the camera through the Multi Interface Shoe. Other Sony cameras with the standard Multi Interface Shoe can still make use of the microphone as there is a selectable digital/analog output.
The ECM-B1M is equipped with eight high-performance mic capsules and advanced digital signal processing, providing three selectable directivity patterns for a wide range of shooting and recording situations. Plug-and-play operation makes the microphone easy to use right out of the box�you can immediately start recording your YouTube videos, Facebook Live streams, and interviews, at home, in the studio, or on the go.

A low-cut filter that cuts out subsonic noise is implemented through digital signal processing, maximizing audio quality at the recording stage and thereby reducing the need for complex post processing.
A fur windscreen is supplied to help reduce wind noise when shooting outdoors.

Sony ECM-B1M Reviews
great sound
Purchased for doing some video projects interviewing older family members about family history. Sound was much better than the in camera microphone, worked well, easy to use
Simply the best mic for hybrid shooters
This mic fits the bill when you need something better than scratch audio but can't be bothered with a wireless lav or more complicated setup. The slim form factor and simplicity (no extra batteries or cables) make it ideal for run-and-gun video or hybrid shooters. The sound quality is remarkably good for a mic of its size-even for informal interviews. Docking a star because the suspension system isn't great-as other reviews have noted. Still the best option in its class for those invested in the Sony ecosystem.
Amazing, but...
I would have given this five stars, but... My only major disappointment with this amazing mic is: the moment you plug it into the hot shoe it deactivates the 3.5mm mic input on the side of the camera (A7siii)... which means you can't run two channels of audio with it attached (e.g., with a supplemental Rode Wireless Go lav mic or equivalent). This was a bit frustrating for the price tag and seems like it is something that could be addressed in a firmware update (hint, hint Sony). Also, due to the internal nature of this problem, the lack of any aftermarket solution is equally disappointing. My only other minor gripe is the floating stabilization feature fails a bit (and produces an undesirable knocking sound) when pushed past a brisk walking pace in uneven terrain (without a gimbal). That said, if you are planning to regularly move quickly and aggressively while filming, you likely wont be happy with this mic. Other than those two gripes, I am supremely impressed with everything else about this microphone.
Functional and compact
Great lightweight, compact microphone. The lack of wires significantly adds to the ease of use. The carrying case is sensibly designed, too. I like everything about the controls; the selectable patterns, noise filters and automatic volume are all useful. It's still very expensive and the shock mount is a bit underdesigned, meaning it risks bottoming out if you move too much while filming. I haven't tested the digital audio yet, as my camera doesn't support it.
Does all it says it can do.
The sound qualities on recording from my Sony A99ii markedly improved when this microphone replace others (including other Sony microphones). Considering that my old A99i can only utilize it in analog mode, I can only imagine how good its capabilities are with newer Sony cameras that work with it in digital mode.
Very happy with this for video calls
Although, this is likely not the use case for many, I have this attached to an a7c that I use for work calls (enterprise software sales/consulting). Primarily google meet, sometimes bluejeans or zoom. It replaces a Shure mv7. The Shure is fantastic, but good volume, and quality sound is best when the Shure mic is on cam. That setup is distracting. With the ECM-B1M, the mic is almost just as good (set to NC, ATT 0, Digital Audio) and is completely out of view.
Works Great
Love the hot shoe functionality. Highly recommend.
Great for eliminating unwanted sounds.
I haven't used it extensively yet, but I am more elderly now and my breathing was showing up in the audio when I shot video on my A1. I bought this microphone to fix it. I set it to Shotgun, Noise Canceling and -10 db Attenuation (where it was set at unboxing). Now the sound I record in front of my camera is crystal clear, and I don't have to spend time in post cleaning up something I cannot avoid.
