Your vocal parts will clearly stand out due to the high-quality sound and rich, mid-low frequency range, which provides the vocals and voice recordings with a core presence.
The C-80 features some of the same technology from Sony’s C-800G and C-100 models. The dual diaphragm configuration helps suppress the effect of sound characteristic changes with distance.
It is equipped with a switchable low-cut filter, eliminating low fluency noise and the proximity effect. The -10dB pad switch provides headroom and decreases transient peaks.
It has an 81.5dB signal-to-noise ration and a less than a 12.5db SPL self-noise level.
It features a Noise Eliminator Construction and a two-part metallic anti-vibrational body structure, helping to reduce the acoustic vibration of the microphone’s body, ensuring low noise.
Sony says that “the C-80 provides a realistic reproduction of the characteristics of an instrument, such as the sound of guitar strings and the resonance of the body”.
Worldwide shipping and pricing details are yet to be announced, although the US and Canada are likely to see a release in November for US$500.
