Product Description
If built-in microphones aren't cutting it, pick up Sony's ECM-DS70P. This stereo microphone gives you increased audio quality when recording onto digital media, such as MiniDisc, DAT, & NT. Also, it's small size and light weight makes it easy to take with you. Color - Gray Includes - 3.3ft. microphone cord and clip Weight - 3/8oz.

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.

5 out of 5 stars Very happy with this mic   October 5, 2004
 91 out of 98 found this review helpful

I recommend the Sony ECM-DS70P stereo microphone.

This mic is great to use with the Sony Mini disc recorders such as MZ-N707 and up. Although it is referred as uni directional, I have found the stereo separation very good.

As you are recording yourself with other singers for example you distinctly hear the vocal separation or instrument separation on playback so, then you can get an interesting separated sound by adjusting the mike direction.

So, even though the L and R mics are close together they must be facing in different directions to get that quality of separation.

There probably are better mikes, and I am sure they cost more money. I am critical of what sound goes in my ears, and this is excellent for my needs, which is self recording, recording voice lessons, live performances etc.

If you were to find this review helpful, please click yes.



5 out of 5 stars Great for MD recording! Nice for the price!   June 2, 2004
 46 out of 50 found this review helpful

This unit is not as compatible as compared to others. But, what it loses in compatibility it makes up for in features. It's wonderfully small and works great with Sony MD recorders. True, it isn't as versitile as the battery models, but it's a lot smaller too. If you just want to do MD recording, this is the unit for you.

The sound quality is sufficiently clear when recording, but is not sensitive enough to satisfy the most demanding users such as musicians or professional reporters. You need a relatively strong source.

Here's one MD player recorder that I know has the microphone jack and works great with this microphone:
'Sony MZ-NF810CK Net MD MiniDisc Recorder with Car Kit'

However, don't be fooled. Not every MD player has the appropriate Mic Jack. Double Check the technical documentation to make sure. Units that definitely do not have it are:
'Sony MZ-NE410 High Speed Net MD Walkman Recorder'

Notice the deceptive "Recorder" moniker in the product name. Don't be fooled! Very few MD "recorders" actually record with a microphone!

Not sure about these:
'Sony MZ-NF610 High Speed Net MD Walkman Recorder'
'Sony MZ-N510CK NetMD Walkman/Recorder with Car Kit'
'Sony MZ-N505 Net MD Walkman Player/Recorder'

Do your research before purchasing any MD player. All in all, this is a good value and the ideal microphone for those wanting to record onto a Sony MD.


3 out of 5 stars brilliant product, but only works with Sony products!!   September 10, 2003
 45 out of 58 found this review helpful

I fell in love with the design and spy-movie size of this microphone, but it doesn't work with most recording devices, because most recording devices aren't equipped for "plug-in power", eg, the Denon DAT player that I wanted to use- couldn't get any signal to record on this. Ditto for my friend who bought the same microphone to use with his laptop- couldn't get any signal. If you, like me, dig sony's products on the whole, you should get the ECMMS907. It takes a battery and will work with any recording device.


5 out of 5 stars Not JUST for Sony recorders   July 13, 2004
 28 out of 31 found this review helpful

Contrary to earlier review, this microphone works GREAT with devices other than Sony; just make sure that your recording device provides plug power. I use this microphone with my iRiver iHP-120 20GB MP3 Jukebox --- records great stereo sound directly into MP3s. Fantastic for recording my kids' concerts. Highly, highly recommended.


5 out of 5 stars Amazing little device!   February 23, 2006

This microphone is so tiny, you'd think it wouldn't record anything... well, quite the opposite!! It's a very good microphone. You can just put it on a table and record something in a different room, and it will.
Very good purchase, very good sound. Plus, it's really small, I can put it in my minidisc case and take it anywhere I want, it's very handy. I use it to record piano playing mostly, and also for language purposes (to improve accents in a foreign language) and it's very useful.
