With its pristine sound reproduction quality, the Sony C-800G Studio Tube Condenser Microphone has the ability to make it sound like a performer is in the room with the audience. For that reason, it’s become a standard in recording studios, especially in applications where a high degree of intimacy with a vocal performer really adds to the production, like in pop and R&B recordings, and vocals at film post production houses.
While strongly associated with vocals, its ability to reproduce subtle sonic qualities can also translate to reproducing the sound of a bow on a cello, or fingers on guitar strings, so some also love it for capturing the intimacy of an acoustic performance (this versatility of application is supported by its electronically selectable omni or uni pick-up patterns).
The C-800G features a high-quality dual large diaphragm for true reproduction of vocal qualities, vacuum tube warm sound quality through a 6AU6 vacuum tube, and a unique Peltier-based cooling system to achieve optimum tube operating temperature. This cooling system is what puts the “G” into the C-800G model name, and it makes the mic look like no other as well as measurably lowering its noise and distortion specifications.
The Sony C-800G has a rugged build quality, and ships in a package that includes a power supply (AC-MC800G) and all the necessary accessories.
