I use the professional Sony UWP line of microphones regularly for work. They're second to none when it comes to ease of use, quality and reliability. The ECM-W3 are consumer mics that can also be extremely useful to professionals when we need the fastest reliable setup possible. Recently I was filming a series of social media videos for the Hollywood Make-Up Artists & Hair Stylists Guild Awards event. I had to switch between 20 speakers within a couple of hours and it would have been impossible with a wired lavalier setup. The client wanted to avoid a handheld mic because they needed to handle and show off a lot of products. With the ECM-W3, it took seconds to clip them on to the next speaker. The sound was nice and clear even in a large room with hundreds of people. Not just because of the noise, but there were hundreds of phones with BT and Wi-Fi around and there were no dropouts and no interference. Very impressive. Not only does it take seconds to attach them to the person speaking, it also takes seconds to attach the receiver to the camera. If you use a Sony camera there are zero wires and no time wasted setting up inputs or syncing the mics. It all happens in seconds on its own. It's truly as easy as it could possibly get. There are also two levels of noise cancelling available on the device and it works great. It makes it very easy to post videos without doing any post processing of audio. Normally I would at least add a noise reduction filter, dynamics compressor and limiter. All of this already happens on the mics automatically with no knowledge required, so the audio in your videos are ready to be posted on social media sounding great out of the box. The case also contains a battery so it acts as a charger when you need to top them up quickly on the go. And it can be charged itself with a regular USB-C cable. All of it has an unintrusive and smart design that looks professional and clean. There's only one thing I wish was done better. The switches on the mics are small, not very clicky and offer very little resistance. It makes them easy to be moved by accident. Luckily there's only three of them, so it's quick and easy to check if all the settings are correct before clipping it on. You also need to make sure the mics are off before putting them in the case, otherwise they won't charge. And the off switch is in a different place on the mics and on the receiver. I wish they were placed more consistently and more robust. It's really the only small downside to these mics and I can live with it because the rest is excellent. These mics will be used more than I originally thought because they're so easy to use and reliable. And the sound quality is very good considering they do everything automatically with no user intervention needed.
With how quick social media fades, creating content at a viable pace has become paramount. The ECM-W3 takes away the worry and fear associated when not being prepared. Eliminating the need for cables, and having a charging case, the ECM-W3 takes any creator's audio up to the next level with its clarity and depth on this system! The integrated switches makes on the go recording absolutely versatile, eliminating the nuisance of having to swipe to get into settings! Once you attach the W3 onto your camera, monitoring becomes a little different than the typical analog approach. That said, what you hear is what you get when you use a good pair of headphones with this mic! The noise cut is the real deal, even in a loud and busy cocktail bar!
