Sony ECM-MS908C Stereo Video Microphone with Switchable Pick-Up Angle description
Sony's ECM-MS908C is a quality stereo microphone for your video camcorder. Coming with the microphone are a shoe attachment and extension arm, making it ready to plug-and-record. The one-point stereo design matches many stereo camcorder formats, although it is essential you check for compatibility. This one-point stereo design microphone delivers stereo sound with a single mic.

A key feature of this microphone are the mid/side (MS) capsules. The mid capsule picks up monophonic sound while the side capsule picks up left/right difference sound. By subtracting and adding the two capsule signals you can achieve left and right channels, thus stereo sound. The MS capsules also allow you to vary the pick-up from the left and right channels according to camera zoom, weather and setting, and the shooting situation. Choose 90 degrees for close-ups and noisy recording situations and choose 120 degrees for wide shots and quiet environments. With these sort of options, you are sure to capture superb sound quality.

The included oxygen-free copper (OFC) Litz cord provides minimum loss and minimum noise disruption. The gold-plated plug gives the mic maximum conductivity and, like the Litz cord, minimum noise disruption. To further enhance your audio recordings, Sony has also included a windscreen.

This video microphone is for advanced amateur use. The stereo sound takes advantage of the two-channel sound tracks on many of today's top video recorders: DV, Digital8, Hi8, 8mm, VHS, S-VHS and VHS-C formats. Make sure you check your camcorder for proper compatibility

Sony ECM-MS908C Stereo Video Microphone with Switchable Pick-Up Angle Customer Reviews

great stereo mic

I used this mic on my Panasonic GS-200 video camera, its good. No camera mounted mic is very good, they all pickup motor vibrations. This is NOT a shotgun mic, buts it is stereo, so ambient room sounds, just sound true and live. I also use this through a mixer with an iMic for voiceovers. It's very good. The nice thing about having a camcorder mic and VO mic, is its easier to match the sound for voice over videos.

There are only a few stereo condensor mics in this price range.

CONS: Hardly any, its easy to forget and leave it on too long, the led only flashes at powerup time, and not
while on. Would be nice to flash once every few seconds as a reminder. But they are battery conservative, my battery has lasted over 2 years.

From what I heard, on the net and microphone reviews, it sounds very close to the $150 microphones for a lot less. If you don't want the stereo pickup, you can always use one channel and Y-cable or flip a mixer switch, on a camcorder, you are stuck with stereo and have to mix down to mono in post.
