The Sony C-80 Microphone is a uni-directional condenser microphone. The C-80 is a standout on vocal and voice recording! The Sony C-80 Microphone was made using the same capsule used in the C-100 as well as the same material as the C-800G for the diaphragm, giving it some of the essence of these world famous microphones. 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.
Sony C-80 Microphone Features
- Excellent Sound Quality: A powerful and rich mid-low frequency range provides vocals and voice recordings with a core sound and presence.
- Noise Elimination Construction: The two-part metallic body structure succeeded from the C-800G/C-100 microphone prevents acoustic vibration, resulting in low noise and clear sound.
- Dual Diaphragm Configuration: The dual diaphragm configuration realizes stable recording/distribution by suppressing sound characteristic changes with distance (proximity effect).
- Low-Cut Filter: The low-Cut filter switch helps eliminate the low-frequency noise and proximity effect.
- Pad Switch: An -10dB pad switch on the microphone provides added headroom and minimizes distortion caused by transient peaks.
