Sony has opened US preorders for its ECM-AX10 USB-C smartphone microphone priced at $249.99, according to The Gadgeteer. Designed for mobile video creators, the lightweight accessory features four capsules supporting Ambisonics, binaural, and standard stereo recording modes. Full spatial audio workflows depend on Sony's companion Spatial Audio Video Tool app alongside supported iOS or Android hardware. Prospective buyers should confirm phone compatibility before ordering, and note that 4K recording within Sony's app is not scheduled until December 2026.
