Amazon.com Product Description
The ECM-DS70P microphone is the perfect companion to any digital recording device. If the built-in microphone you currently are using doesn't allow for the mobility or quality you demand, this stereo microphone is sure to meet your demands. With plug-in power there is no need for batteries or additional power cords. The microphone plugs directly into your recorder, minimizing possibly confusing cord requirements. The electret condenser microphone is uni-directional, meaning your recording will capture the full stereo sound of your selected subject. The gold-plated plug ensures a proper connection. The microphone is compact and lightweight (only 10 grams) and thus will travel nicely with your compact digital recorder. With the one meter mic cord and included clip, your recording process will be that much easier. The ECM-DS70P is recommended for digital recording devices like the MiniDisc, DAT and NT recorders.

4 out of 5 stars Sounds real good, but...   March 12, 2008
I purchased the Shure ECM-DS70P for use with my portable DAT machine. It does a good job of recording, nice frequency range, and good stereo, and a great price. The one drawback is that touching the mic or even the cord while recording imparts a very loud noise on the tape. Since there is no shock mount for this mic, I would suggest mounting it where it cannot be touched.


4 out of 5 stars Clandestine delight   February 20, 2008
I've been using mine with excellent results for 4 years now. I find the stereo separation acceptable under most circumstances. I use Sony MZ R700, R900, and MZ N1, and I can't tell one from the others under most recordings. It CAN be overloaded/distorted, but I've only found that in cases of really bad room acoustics and loud enough to be uncomfortable and distort even my listening. I've never been caught, as the whole rig can be set to "all green but hold final count" status before entering the venue, and then easily hidden as intermission lights come up. Only complaints are that there is no (known) windscreen available, and the clip is not really up to the task, and easily lost. I made a replacement with a paper clip and an alligator clip. Elsewise, this mike has been the single consistent tool in my mission to preserve live music shows. All of which are folk & alt.country.


2 out of 5 stars Not a quality mic!   February 18, 2008

I am a completed music education major, strong in both choral and instrumental suits, and this microphone is fine for the speaking voice but is not good for recording music. First of all it has a significant amount of noise that occurs even when the environment is completely silent. I used it on my laptop and on my digital recording device and both had large amounts of noise. Also the lower hertz(lower pitches or bass) are not very audible. The playback doesn't have a good sound in the lower ranges. I wish someone could e-mail me or tell me another mic that is of great quality in this same range. I have yet to find one.

In short, don't buy this mic if you want to record music. Save your money I wish I had.



5 out of 5 stars Very good product   February 5, 2008

5 out of 5 stars Sony ECM-DS70P stereo microphone EXCELLENT!   December 26, 2007

As a choir director, I have been looking for years to find a small, simple to set up, microphone and recorder. Cassette boom boxes used to be so useful in the "old days" to help the choir hear themselves. Now that I have used the Sony Electret Condenser microphone with my Sharp mini disk, I can say my search is over.

There is excellent quality with the full range of dynamics from the quietest to the loudest moments. There is outstanding stereo separation giving the sound of the actual theater. The digital quality was just fine to make CD's of the Christmas concert for members to enjoy in the future.

It is so sensitive that it does pick up the sound of the recorder so you must use the small extention cord and set it away from the recorder. I just put in into a tabletop microphone stand and put it on the edge of the stage. Be sure to put it on a thick piece of carpet since it will pick up the stage sounds of any walking - or even the director moving back and forth.

I strongly recommend the Sony Stereo Electret Condenser Microphone.
