Sony C-100 Two Way Condenser Microphone

C-100

The Sony C-100 is a two way condenser microphone, compatible with High-Resolution Audio, and suitable for vocal and critical instrument recording in the studio. Incorporating newly developed double microphone capsules and noise elimination structure, originally employed in the C-800G microphone, the C-100 delivers a broad frequency range of 20 to 50,000 Hz and excellent reproduction of vocal and musical qualities. The condenser element of the C-100 microphone provides a selectable pick-up pattern (Omni/Uni/Bi) for various recording applications.

Features:

• Excellent Sound Quality: Two-way microphone capsule structure realizes both broad high range and resonant mid-low range and gives great vocal presence
• Noise Elimination Construction: Two-part metallic body structure succeeded from C-800G microphone prevents acoustic vibration resulting in low noise and clear sound
• Low-Cut Filter: Low-Cut filter switch helps eliminate low-frequency noise and proximity effect
• Wide Frequency Response: The C-100 microphone has a broad frequency response (20 Hz to 50kHz) and provides superb sound reproduction quality for High-Resolution Audio
• Switchable Polar Patterns: The C-100 microphone features switchable uni-directional, omni-directional and Figure-8 ploar patterns for various recording applications
• Pad Switch:An -10dB pad switch on C-100 microphone provides added headroom and minimizes distortion caused by transient peaks
