Sony Microphones Compared: ECM-G1 ECM-B10 ECM-B1M Review! 

I've been using the B1M in most of my videos now, very happy with it.

Which camera are you using? On most, if not all, you should hear audio when you play back from the camera itself. Try adjusting the playback volume (usually by pushing a button - probably down - on the control wheel during playback).

Generally set to super directional but definitely no way it's canceling the echo in that room even on that setting.

It might not be built for that but in my testing it definitely reduced the sound from the shock mount.

The dead cat muffles the rumble from the gimbal knocking the mic housing. It produces similar rumble as the noise hitting the mic, thus why the deadcat muffles the gimblal sound as is doing a similar dampening effect.

Oh, many commented about this below too.

@@gigihanmandarin it's great the way the internet always corrects you. Great video btw

Thank you!

Give this video a like if you'd like to see a video comparing the two!

Thanks!

Thanks!

That's right, somehow got the word gimbal in my head when recording.

@@foXnoMad Loool. No worries. Have you compared this to the MKE400. I’m thinking of returning it for the B1M?

Haven't compared it to the MKE400 but can say the B1M is a solid choice.

@@foXnoMad Thanks.

🤨🤦🏻‍♂️😂

Two clicks or two taps, same result but tap is quicker.

Thanks!

and what about the new ECM-M1?

@@scottiebumich B1M & M1 are priced the same but M1 has more features than B1M. B1M, being the previous flagship model, still sounds the best because of it having the most number of microphone capsules. If you need the new features - M1. If those new features do not mean much to you and you don't mind having a mic that is just a tiny bit bigger but offers better sound quality - B1M.

I also don't see the benefit of the M1 for general use. The cluster of microphones makes it harder to isolate farther sounds. From an engineering standpoint it's designed for a close proximity around the camera. I would love to hear how the two mics perform for ranged subjects.@@gigihanmandarin I was able to pick the BM1 for $210 new so I'll hold on to that until the M1 is a bit older and trade up when the used prices for the M1 comes down (once more reviews hit the web)

@@scottiebumich Did you mean you got a B1M? If you are happy with B1M and you do not have any use of M1's advance features I would actually discourage you from getting the M1. I have seen multiple comparison videos between B1M and M1 and clearly M1 sounds more thin and tinny, comparable to B10 (4 capsules) and clearly a par below B1M (8 capsules).

What software u used to edit audio? Thanks.
