The microphone comes with a range of accessories including a windscreen, holder, spacer and carrying case. Other features of the ECM-678 include: - Sound Quality: Equipped with a newly developed microphone capsule, the ECM-678 delivers sensitivity of -28 dB and extremely low inherent noise of less than 16 dB SPL.
- Flat-and-Wide Frequency Response: 40 Hz to 20 kHz provides smooth, natural sound reproduction.
- Compact Design: With a highly directional microphone only 250 mm (9.9 inches) long, the ECM-678 balances a compact size with the ability to deliver solid performance.
- Low Cut Filter: Built-in two-position (M, V) low-cut switch allows effortless reduction of ambient noise.
- High Durability and Reliability: Vibration-resistant mechanism offers durability and reliability, suitable for the most demanding shooting/recording conditions.
