The Sony C-800G Studio Tube Condenser Microphone is a highly acclaimed tube condenser microphone celebrated for comprehensivley capturing and reproducing exceptionally smooth audio on vocals and instruments alike. The Sony C-800G brings a polished, professional sound into any studio.
 
At the core of the C-800G's excellent sonic character is a 6AU6 vacuum tube, which provides warmth and presence to the input signal. Great care has been taken to ensure that the mic provides sonic character and little else: the aluminum construction and integrated cooling system keep inherent noise and unwanted sonic artifacts out of your recordings.  
 
The large-diaphragm condenser element yields a true frequency response of 20 Hz to 18 kHz, with a dynamic range of 113 dB. Cardioid and unidirectional polar patterns are user switchable at the front of the microphone, allowing you to select the polar pattern from the mic itself, rather than the power supply. Included with the microphone is the external power supply as well as the corresponding 7-pin XLR cable, a mounting basket, stand-screw adapters for your mic stand, and a wooden case.
 
Vacuum Tube Electronics
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 C-800G a viable solution for instrument and vocal recording.
 
Exceptional Signal Response
The large-diaphragm condenser element yields a true frequency response of 20 Hz to 18 kHz with a dynamic range of 113 dB. The result is an even, flat frequency response that maintains detail with low signals and transients.
 
Switchable Polar Patterns
Cardioid and unidirectional polar patterns are user switchable at the front of the microphone. This allows complete pickup control for instrument and vocal capturing.
 
Special Order Item 
Please note: this item is available for purchase in the United States only.
Integrated Cooling System
The microphone sports a built-in thermoelectric cooling system employing a semiconductor device, heat pipe, and heat sink, which greatly contribute to the low noise and low distortion characteristics of the mic.
With a high sensitivity of -28 dB/Pa, the C-800G microphone can capture subtle nuances at high frequencies with low noise levels and minimum distortion.
 
Aluminum Body
The C-800G microphone incorporates a two-part aluminum body that helps to prevent acoustic vibration from reaching the microphone capsule, resulting in clarity of sonic reproduction.
 
AC Power Supply Included
The external power supply ships with this mic, as does the corresponding cable, a mounting basket, two stand-screw adapters, and a case.
