Sony C-800G Condenser Microphone

Sony C-800G tube condenser microphone is designed for vocal and instrument recording where professional level signal reproduction is crucial. At the core of the C-800G's excellent sonic character is a 6AU6 vacuum tube. The tube provides outstanding warmth and presence to the input signal making the microphone a viable solution for instrument and vocal recording. The large diaphragm condenser element yields a true frequency response of 20Hz to 18kHz with a dynamic range of 113dB. The result is an even, flat frequency response that maintains detail with low signals and transients. Cardioid and Omni-directional polar patterns are user switchable at the the front of the microphone. This allows complete pick-up control for instrument and vocal capturing. The microphone sports a Peltier-based cooling system, keeping the vacuum tube at a safe operating temperature and adding to the unique look of the microphone.
