The Sony C800G Tube Microphone is an iconic tube condenser, known and loved for it's full ranged balanced and smooth sound, with lifted clarity and dimensional bigness. The C800G is like reality enhanced with a musical tone that let's vocals and dynamic sound sources (like acoustic stringed instruments) shine with a presence that sits perfectly on top of the mix.
The Sony C800G Tube Microphone is particularly suitable for critical vocal recording in recording studios and movie and video post-production houses, where sound clarity and nuance are essential. The use of a rigorously selected vacuum tube gives this microphone its superb sonic quality, particularly at high frequencies and with exceptionally low noise levels. With a wide dynamic range and ability to resolve subtle sound detail, the sonic quality is expressed as rich, natural, and sensitive with an outstanding response to fast transients. With a high sensitivity of –32 dB/Pa, this microphone can capture subtle nuances at high frequencies with low noise levels and minimum distortion.
The first microphone in the world to incorporate a built-in thermo-electric cooling system employing a semiconductor device, heat pipe, and heat sink, which greatly contribute to the low noise and low distortion characteristics. The design incorporates a two-part body construction that effectively helps prevent acoustic vibration from reaching the microphone capsule, resulting in clarity of reproduction.
