Compact and lightweight, it mounts easily on Sony HDV, DVCAM, and XDCAM cameras or on a boom pole for versatile use in studio or on-location shoots.

Its solid construction ensures durability in rugged field conditions, providing consistent performance for demanding production needs. Accessories include a windscreen to suppress wind noise, a short XLR cable for simple setup, a microphone holder, and mounting spacers. Offering durability, portability, and natural sound reproduction, the ECM-678/9X is an ideal, cost-effective choice for filmmakers, videographers, and broadcasters needing a reliable short shotgun mic.Manufacturer Items Include:Sony ECM-678/9X Shotgun MicrophoneWindscreenStand adaptorShort XLR cableOperating instructionsMic spacerMic holderCarrying caseBundle Items Include:Sony ECM-678/9X Shotgun MicrophoneMicrophone CleanerMicrofiber ClothCable Ties
