Description

The Sony C-800G is a legendary studio tube condenser microphone, revered in both music and film post-production for its exceptional clarity, warmth, and detail. Engineered specifically for vocal recording, the C-800G delivers a signature sound that combines the richness of a 6AU6A vacuum tube with the precision of a dual large-diaphragm condenser capsule. This combination captures subtle vocal nuances with remarkable fidelity, making it a top choice for professional studios around the world.

A standout feature of the C-800G is its Peltier-based cooling system, which actively regulates the tube temperature to minimize noise and distortion, ensuring long-term stability and ultra-clean recordings. Users can electronically switch between omnidirectional and cardioid pickup patterns, offering flexibility for various recording environments and voice types. With a frequency response of 20 Hz to 18 kHz, high sensitivity (-32 dB/Pa), and an impressive dynamic range of 113 dB, the Sony C-800G excels in capturing everything from the softest whispers to powerful vocal performances with pristine detail and tonal warmth.
