Usage recommendations

For optimal results, place the mic 15–20 cm from the speaker’s mouth, avoid rubbing the mic against clothing, and use the wind screen in outdoor or windy conditions. When pairing with the ECM-W2BT wireless system and a camera with Digital Audio Interface compatibility, connect the ECM-LV1 to the transmitter to reduce cable constraints during shoots.
