Review Part 2|5 Sony B1M vs Sennheiser MKE440 – Two Furry Windmuffs for the Sony Microphone 20190914


The second of 5 short outdoor reviews comparing the new Sony ECM-B1M digital shotgun camera microphone vs the Sennheiser MKE 440 stereo shotgun microphone.
Now for the Sony ECM-B1M a second ‘Furry Windmuff’ is used on top of the standard Sony fuzzy windshield supplied in the box. That second windshield is from a Canon DM-100 Directional Stereo Microphone that I used some years ago on the Canon HF-G10 camera. ① memo 20190914 .

Dawn Chorus Duet

Dawn Chorus Duet

Lyrics (Dawn Chorus by Racoon Racoon) :

Oh, I leave what’s wrong
Cause I’ve seen dawn ending the night
No point to resist nor have a fight
From days to years, just passing by
We lost attention, lost the light
Across the ocean of our lies

You know what’s wrong to be with you
I never felt you wanted to
Like all those parties without fun
Like a summer without sun

Oh sweetheart, let’s contemplate
Forget your anger, drop the hate
We’re still the masters of our fate
Today feels wrong, tomorrow we’ll be on our own
Everlasting game no one ever won
Now it’s just you and me apart
Each other with a broken heart

You know what’s wrong to be with you
I never felt you wanted to
Like all those parties without fun
Like a summer without sun

After time, all things get worse
I can’t do one thing on my own
& I have nothing on my mind
But to be with you

Sound of Polder Irrigation


① memo 20190908 ~ Sound of Polder Irrigation ~ Tractor spraying water on the polder grasslands from a ditch, last Friday recorded with the Sony ECM-B1M Digital Shotgun Microphone, in the Super-directional Mode, with Auto levels and low cut filter on, using both the supplied Sony fuzzy wind screen, plus – in addition as a second layer – another different fuzzy wind screen (previously used on a old Canon DM-100 mic) – the camera is a Sony A7S Mark II.
