Sony C-100 High-Resolution 2-Way Condenser Microphone
EAN: 027242910911
Impressively clever in its design, the Sony C-100 condenser microphone uses two capsules in a two-way configuration to effectively capture immense bandwidth from 20 Hz to 50 kHz with transparent, uncolored accuracy. The 1 true condenser capsule handles frequencies from 20 Hz to 25 kHz while the secondary 0.7 electret condenser capsule takes the 25 kHz to 50 kHz range, making the C-100 compliant Hi-Res Audio standards and a stellar tool for detailed recording of vocals and full-spectrum instrument sounds.
The C-100 microphone features three selectable polar patterns- cardioid, figure-8, and omnidirectional-to allow great versatility in the studio. Onboard switches are provided for a low-cut filter (helps control rumble and proximity effect) and a -10 dB pad (raises the maximum SPL to accommodate louder signals without distorting). The C-100 borrows the noise elimination structure used in the legendary C-800G to prevent acoustic vibration and yield low noise. Additional isolation from vibration is provided by the included shockmount. The mic also comes with a windscreen, mic stand adapter, and carrying case.
Pro-Quality Sound
Two-way diaphragm structure realizes both broad high range and resonant mid-low range and gives great vocal presence
Wide Frequency Response
Broad frequency response (20 Hz to 50 kHz) to ensure superb sound reproduction quality for High-Resolution Audio
Noise-Eliminating Construction
Two-part metallic body structure succeeded from C-800G microphone prevents acoustic vibration, resulting in low noise and clear sound
Three Polar Patterns
Switchable cardioid, omnidirectional, and figure-8 polar patterns for various recording applications
Low-Cut Filter
Low-cut filter switch helps eliminate low-frequency noise and proximity effect
Pad Switch
-10 dB pad switch provides added headroom and minimizes distortion caused by transient peaks
