■High Audio Quality
The metal body of Sony’s ECM-FT5 offers increased
durability and improved audio quality by blocking
vibration and resonance.Another advantage of the
metal construction is it shields the microphone,
blocking RF noise interference.
■Easy to Hide
The slim 4.9-mm profile of the ultra-miniature
ECM-FT5 is designed to be easily concealed under
clothing, and its sleek contours help prevent noise
pick-up from garments.
■Water-resistant Design
A moisture-repellent screen covers the mic aperture to help prevent
sweat and dampness from entering the case.
■Reliable Interface Options
The ECM-FT5 offers two
connection types for use with
Sony’s wireless transmitters.
A new flat-shape lavalier microphone,
omni-directional and ultra-miniature
