The Sony ECM-680S is a versatile MS stereo* shotgun, electret condenser microphone, perfect for a wide range of field production and broadcast studio applications.

Featuring newly developed microphone capsules, the ECM-680S provides excellent sensitivity, low inherent noise, and a broad, flat frequency response. Its standout feature is the switchable operation between a highly directional monaural mode and a stereo mode.

Compact and lightweight, the ECM-680S is ideal for use with Sony’s professional camcorders and can also be mounted on a boom pole for greater flexibility. Thanks to its exceptional sound quality and versatility, the ECM-680S is an excellent choice for quality-conscious audio recording in various environments.

*The MS microphone signal of the ECM-680S is internally decoded to L and R stereo outputs.
