Sony ECM-AX10 Spatial Audio Microphone

The Sony ECM-AX10 spatial audio microphone is an ultra-compact immersive acoustic recording solution engineered to elevate audio production for mobile filmmakers, content creators, and multimedia professionals. Weighing just 24 grams and featuring an optimized spherical acoustic module, the microphone houses four precision-calibrated omnidirectional electret condenser capsules capable of capturing a full three-dimensional sound field with realistic acoustic depth, spatial localization, and true-to-life environmental ambience.

Engineered for versatile creative scenarios, the device provides three distinct recording modes: higher-order Ambisonics for immersive spatial audio production compatible with the open IAMF standard on major video platforms, a binaural mode that delivers an engaging 3D listening experience tailored for stereo headphones, and a standard stereo mode for everyday speech and ambient recording. With its official Eclipsa Audio certification for mobile devices, this microphone ensures accurate alignment between visual perspective and spatial acoustic reproduction across immersive listening environments.

Featuring a direct plug-in USB-C interface alongside a dedicated 3.5mm headphone output for latency-free monitoring, the unit streamlines field recording without requiring external power supplies or bulky interfaces. Built-in hardware capabilities include a -20 dBFS selectable attenuator (ATT), an integrated low-cut noise reduction filter, and internal tri-axial orientation sensors that maintain audio-video alignment during active camera movement, making it an indispensable asset for mobile video productions and immersive storytelling.
