Product Summary
Record a presenter’s voice straight from supported earbuds, with no clip-on transmitter in sight. This compact receiver turns compatible Sony Bluetooth LE Audio headphones into a microphone source, monitors wirelessly and keeps sound and picture in one file, which makes it a discreet partner for vlogging, interviews and spontaneous filming. It also works with up to four separately available ECM-W5T transmitters, each voice on its own channel.
For anyone already running the complete kit, it is a smart way to expand: a second receiving point for another camera, or a dedicated unit for a different audio source, without buying another full package. A bright AMOLED touchscreen, control wheel and direct Multi Interface Shoe connection keep operation quick, while 32-bit float, 96 kHz/24-bit recording and timecode support meet professional demands. At just 35 g, it barely registers on a rig.
Your Headphones Become the Microphone
Supported earbuds and headphones capture speech without a separate transmitter on clothing, leaving the frame clean and the setup minimal. Audio goes directly to a compatible camera, so voice and video stay together.
With compatible equipment, binaural recording captures the spatial character of a scene, giving listeners a stronger sense of being there. Support is model-specific, so check Sony’s headphone compatibility list before buying.
Expand Your Wireless Setup
Pair up to four ECM-W5T transmitters, sold separately, and supported cameras record each as an independent digital channel. Individual voices can then be balanced in the edit, which suits interviews, discussions and multi-person recordings.
An additional receiver also opens up multi-camera and multi-position arrangements, subject to pairing and system compatibility.
Digital Audio, Straight to the Camera
Slot it into the Multi Interface Shoe of a compatible Sony camera and audio travels digitally with no cable between receiver and body. Supported modes include 48 kHz/32-bit float and 96 kHz/24-bit, and the shoe can supply operating power for longer sessions. Available formats and functions depend on the connected camera.
Clear Display, Fast Controls
The AMOLED touchscreen shows microphone status and recording information with excellent contrast, and the control wheel and button allow quick adjustments mid-shoot. Choose automatic or manual gain, then apply noise cut or low cut to suit the environment.
Versatile connectivity
Using the supplied USB Type-C adaptor, compatible smartphones and computers that support USB Audio Class 2.0 can receive audio through the receiver. That covers podcasts, streaming, online presentations and mobile production, with a suitable microphone source attached. The 3.5 mm input accepts compatible wired microphones, including lavaliers, when you need a specific pickup position.
Timecode for Multi-Camera
Timecode output to supported devices helps align recordings from different cameras and audio equipment, reducing manual syncing in post. USB SYNC adds a USB-C synchronisation option, currently supported by the Sony FX5, with other equipment dependent on compatibility.
Light, Self-Powered, Ready to Go
At roughly 35 g without the shoe adaptor, it adds very little bulk. The integrated lithium-ion battery supports standalone use, while a compatible camera can power it through the shoe. Supplied adaptors make it easy to switch between mounting and connection arrangements.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it include a microphone?
No. This is the receiver only. Compatible ECM-W5T transmitters are sold separately, and supported Sony Bluetooth LE Audio headphones can also act as a microphone source.
Can I use it alongside the complete kit?
Yes. It belongs to the same system and can create additional recording configurations. Pairing and simultaneous operation depend on the equipment arrangement.
Which headphones are compatible?
Selected Sony Bluetooth LE Audio models support microphone recording and monitoring. Compatibility is model-specific, so consult Sony’s supported headphone list.
Will it work with my camera?
Digital audio and power through the Multi Interface Shoe require a compatible Sony model. Some recording formats and timecode functions carry additional restrictions.
Can I connect it to a laptop or phone?
Yes. The supplied USB adaptor supports compatible computers and smartphones using USB Audio Class 2.0, with a suitable microphone source also required.
Can I use a wired lavalier?
Yes. The 3.5 mm external input accepts compatible wired microphones, including lavaliers.
