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 .
