Sony lanserar idag ECM-AX10, världens första Eclipsa Audio-certifierade mikrofon för smartphones. ECM-AX10 är skapad för vloggare, filmskapare och innehållskapare och hjälper till att fånga upp videoljud som känns mer naturligt, uppslukande och troget till ögonblicket. Mikrofonen har fyra inbyggda rundupptagande mikrofonkapslar som spelar in ljud från flera riktningar. Genom Sonys rumsljudsbehandling återskapar den en känsla av rymd, riktning och avstånd som kan göra smartphone-videor mer engagerande för tittarna.

Mikrofonen är liten och lätt och ansluts direkt till kompatibla smartphones via USB-C® och ger kreatörer tre enkla sätt att spela in ljud: Ambisonics-inspelning för produktion av rumsligt ljud, binaural inspelning för en uppslukande upplevelse i hörlurar och stereoinspelning för vardagsvideor och innehåll för sociala medier.

Tillsammans med Sonys specialutvecklade app Spatial Audio Video Tool kan kreatörer spela in video, granska material, göra enkla redigeringar och exportera innehåll med rumsligt ljud. Detta gör det möjligt för användare att genomföra hela produktionsflödet för rumsligt ljud direkt på sin smartphone.

Pris och tillgänglighet

ECM-AX10 kommer att finnas tillgänglig från och med Oktober till ett pris på cirka 2199kr .

Sony Announces the World's First Eclipsa Audio Certified Microphone¹ for Smartphones

ECM-AX10 is a portable USB-C spatial audio microphone designed to help vloggers, mobile filmmakers and content creators capture spatial sound, edit on the go and export smartphone videos with spatial audio

Sony today announced the ECM-AX10, the world's first Eclipsa Audio²-certified microphone for smartphones. Created for vloggers, smartphone filmmakers and mobile content creators, the ECM-AX10 helps capture video sound that feels more natural, immersive and true to the moment. Its four built-in omnidirectional microphone capsules record sound from multiple directions, while Sony’s spatial audio processing recreates a sense of space, direction and distance that can make smartphone videos feel more engaging for viewers.

Small and lightweight, the microphone connects directly to compatible smartphones³ via USB-C^®4 and gives creators three easy ways to capture sound: Ambisonics recording for spatial audio production, binaural recording for an immersive headphone experience and stereo recording for everyday videos and social content.

When used with Sony’s dedicated Spatial Audio Video Tool⁵ app, creators can shoot video, check footage, make simple edits and export content with spatial audio⁶. This allows users to complete the entire production workflow for spatial audio video on their smartphone.

Key product features

Spatial audio for smartphone video

The ECM-AX10 is designed to make smartphone videos sound bigger, natural and true to the moment. Sony’s newly developed spherical microphone module uses four omnidirectional microphone capsules to support Ambisonics recording, helping capture sound from all around the scene. With advanced spatial audio processing, creators can bring through the atmosphere, direction and distance of a place, from street performances and festivals to sports, travel content and behind-the-scenes moments, so viewers feel closer to the action.

Three recording modes for different creator approaches

Creators can choose from three recording modes to suit their content, platform and playback needs. Ambisonics recording works with the Spatial Audio Video Tool app to support publishing in Eclipsa Audio^TM for an immersive audio experience on YouTube^TM7. Binaural recording uses Sony’s proprietary spatial audio technology, also used for 360 Reality Audio, to create a headphone-optimised three-dimensional sound experience even where Eclipsa Audio^TM is not supported. Stereo recording offers a versatile format for headphones and speakers. The microphone can also be used with general recording and video apps as well as Sony’s dedicated apps.

Compact USB-C design for filming on the move

Weighing approximately 24g, the ECM-AX10 is designed to be carried anywhere and set up quickly for spontaneous filming. The direct USB-C^® connection helps creators capture higher-quality audio without a separate recorder or complex setup, supporting a simple smartphone-first production workflow. With the Spatial Audio Video Tool app, users can record video⁸, review clips, make quick edits and export finished content with spatial audio entirely on their smartphone, streamlining the journey from capture to share.

Developed with sound engineers

To help ensure the ECM-AX10 delivers an authentic and immersive listening experience, Sony worked with Sony PCL, a Sony Group company with extensive expertise in planning and producing content and spatial experiences. Leveraging the knowledge it has developed through post-production, where video and audio are refined into their final form, Sony PCL supported the sound quality tuning of the microphone.

Sony PCL Sound Engineer Mr. Iwana commented: “The orchestral sound recorded with the ECM-AX10 captures the music with remarkable depth, with quick response in the low and low-mid ranges, while the high frequencies are expansive and moving. For ambient sound, it also delivers an impressive sense of presence, richly reproducing the three-dimensionality of sound and the spaciousness of a 360-degree sound field. I believe this microphone can vividly capture even the atmosphere of the moment, together with a three-dimensional sense of realism, elevating important videos into works that feel more real and memorable.”

Pricing and availability

The ECM-AX10 will be available from October priced at approximately £179/€199.
