In addition to announcing the Bluetooth Speaker with Magnetic Charging Pad for their line of Xperia smartphones and tablets, Sony has also revealed the Stereo Microphone STM10. This new accessory, which slides into the device’s headphone jack, allows owners of the Sony Xperia Z2 and Xperia Z2 Tablet to record audio in superior stereo. The STM10 is a high sensitivity stereo condenser microphone with a 90 degree tilt function, allowing you to adjust your area of focus.

With 4K video recording and now an improved mic option, the Xperia Z2 is starting to become quite the versatile smartphone, allowing for superior video and now audio as well. Sony has also officially only stated that their latest Z2 models are compatible with the stereo mic though from appurtenance, older Xperia devices will likely be compatible as well.

Once launched, the Sony Stereo Microphone STM10 will be available in silver though Sony has yet to announce a price point or release date. Seeing how the Xperia Z2 and Z2 Tablet are launching in Spring, it be reasonable to assume that this mic and other related accessories will launch around the same time frame or shortly after.
