Key Features: Sony ECM-680S Electret Condenser M/S Stereo Shotgun
- Superior Sound Quality
The ECM-680S uses the Mid-Side (MS) technique that offers natural stereo sound and excellent localization. Equipped with newly-developed, large diaphragm, bidirectional microphone capsules, the ECM-680S delivers a superb sensitivity and extremely low inherent noise - Switchable between Stereo
The ECM-680S can operate in either stereo or monaural (uni-directional) mode, allowing it to be used in both field production and news gathering applications. Stereo mode is ideal for capturing environmental sound with natural sound quality, while monaural mode is ideal for clearly capturing voice and sound from a distance. These modes can be selected from the switch on the microphone or from compatible Sony professional camcorders - Flat and Wide Frequency Response
The ECM-680S microphone has a flat-and wide frequency response in both stereo and monaural modes, and will provide sound reproduction that is extremely smooth and natural - Compact and Lightweight
The ECM-680S has been designed to be a compact yet high-performance stereo shotgun microphone, ideal for camera-mounted use, maintaining good balance and mobility when mounted on a range of Sony professional camcorders

The Buy Now Pay Later option comprises a 36 month loan following a six month deferral period.
During the six-month deferral period, it is possible to pay off the loan, either by way of a lump sum or in smaller amounts. If the loan is partially repaid within six months, the remaining interest will be adjusted to reflect the new balance. If the loan is fully repaid within the six-month deferral period, then no interest is payable, however, a £29 early settlement fee is payable in respect of repayments within these six months.
Following the six-month deferral period, Novuna Personal Finance will initiate a monthly direct debit payment for the remaining duration of the loan. Interest will be charged at a rate of 18.9% APR on outstanding balances (backdated to the first date of the loan). Novuna Personal Finance will send a reminder letter approximately one month before the six-month deferral period is due to elapse.
