| Feature |
Benefit |
| Superb Sound Quality |
The ECM-673 offers an excellent sensitivity of -36 dB (0
dB=1 V/Pa) and a low inherent-noise level of less than 17 dB SPL. This
allows the microphone to be used for clear voice pickup, even in noisy
environments. |
| Flat-and-wide Frequency Response |
The ECM-673 microphone has a flat-and-wide frequency
response (40 Hz to 20 kHz) and delivers extremely smooth and natural sound
reproduction.
|
| Compact and Lightweight Design |
The ECM-673 has been designed as a highly directional,
compact, and lightweight short shotgun microphone. It measures only 7 7/8
inches in length, and weighs just 4.76 oz, maintaining good balance even
when mounted on compact camcorders. |
| High Durability and Reliability |
The vibration-resistant mechanism of the ECM-673 offers high
durability and reliability, making it suitable for the harsh environments
that can be encountered in field sound-acquisition. |
| Built-in Low-cut Filter |
The built-in two-position (M, V) low-cut switch on the
ECM-673 provides a simple method of reducing the effects of unwanted ambient
noise. |
