Review



I was looking for a lavalier microphone that is both good & cheap, I found the Sony ECM-CS3. the Main purpose behind buying it was to use it with my Zoom H1 Handy recorder, so I could put the Zoom H1 in my pocket (it's pretty small) & use it a kind like a wireless transmitter with the ECM-CS3 (audio syncing in production) & that's to avoid connecting it directly to my camcorder.

I got the microphone, it's made out of plastic, the cable was gold plated at the end and the clip is sturdy & does not feel that it's gonna break anytime soon. It has a chrome finish (of course it's paint) & it feels good, it does not feel that cheap. It has two channels ( it's a stereo microphone ) Left & right & the cable is about 1.2 m/3.9 ft.

The Hissing starts only when you set the gain above 50% , but it's ok, the sound Quality is pretty good for the price.

bottom line: It's a good cheap mic & I do recommend it if you are on a budget. If you have a better money, get a better mic!
