The sony c 80 is a large diaphragm condenser microphone that takes its heritage from sonys range of microphones. Perfect for vocals and voiceover recording the c 80s thick low mids help add body and presence to any voice. Its cardioid polar pattern provides a focused and close pickup for a tight upfront sound. The c 80s dual diaphragm configuration gives it a more consistent sound performance that prevents the proximity effect so any performer can get as close to the capsule as theyre comfortable with. Its two part structure taken from the c 800g prevents vibration from its housing cleaning up any recording. Finally a low cut filter helps reduce low frequency noise and emphasise higher frequencies and a pad adds headroom and improves transient handling without distortion.
