The Sony ECM-AX10 brings spatial audio capture to compatible smartphones in a compact plug-in microphone. Four omnidirectional microphone capsules capture sound from every direction, including height, depth, and movement, helping recordings preserve more of the surrounding sound field. Direct USB Type-C connection keeps the setup compact for mobile video, interviews, travel clips, performances, and other creator workflows.
Spatial, Binaural, or Stereo Recording
Choose spatial mode for Ambisonics 4-channel or binaural recording with the Sony Spatial Audio Video Tool app, or switch to stereo when a conventional left and right recording is preferred. When another compatible recording app is used, spatial mode records in binaural. The app can also record, play back, edit, and export supported projects for different listening uses.
Controls for Real Recording Conditions
An attenuator switch offers 0 dB, 10 dB, and 20 dB settings, while the peak level meter helps identify overload before it becomes a problem. Low-cut and noise cut filter options help address unwanted sound in supported modes. A stereo mini jack lets you monitor recording through compatible headphones, and selfie mode changes the recording direction when using a front-facing smartphone camera.
Compact Smartphone-Ready Design
The microphone weighs approximately 24 grams and draws power from the connected device, so no separate battery is required. It can connect directly to a compatible smartphone in portrait or landscape orientation. Sony also supplies a wind screen, spacer sheet, shoe mount microphone holder, USB Type C cable, and reference guide for flexible mobile setups.
