Sony C-80 Uni-Directional Condenser Microphone
Uni-directional condenser microphone suitable for vocal/voice recording. Inheriting the microphone capsule used in the C-100 and using the same material as the C-800G for the diaphragm, this microphone inherits the essence of the predecessors. The dual diaphragm configuration suppresses sound characteristics changes with distance (proximity effect), enabling stable recording/distribution. “Noise Elimination Construction” succeeded from C-800G/C-100 prevents acoustic vibration resulting in low noise and clear sound.
Excellent Sound Quality
Powerful and rich mid-low frequency range provides vocals and voice recordings with a core sound and presence.
Dual Diaphragm Configuration
Dual diaphragm configuration provides stable recording/distribution by suppressing sound characteristics changes with distance (proximity effect).
Noise Elimination Construction
Two-part metallic body structure succeeded from C-800G/C-100 microphone prevents acoustic vibration resulting in low noise and clear sound.
Low-Cut Filter
Low-Cut filter switch helps eliminate low-frequency nose and proximity effect.
Pad Switch
An -10dB pad switch on the microphone provides added headroom and minimizes distortion caused by transient peaks.
