SONY C-80 Uni-directional Condenser Microphone

- Large 25 mm microphone capsule emphasises the presence of sound.
- Dual-diaphragm structure suppresses proximity effect for stable recording and broadcast.
- Precision resin back plate, for reduced acoustic impedance and high sensitivity.
- Rich mid-range characteristics ensure a precise vocal pickup.
- Extended low-end and natural sound provide a realistic reproduction of instruments.
- Switchable low-cut filter reduces the pickup of low-frequency and ambient noise.

The C-80 is a unidirectional condenser microphone that can be used for a variety of recording projects in a home studio, including vocals, spoken word, and acoustic instruments such as guitar and piano.

Featuring the same diaphragm material as our legendary C-800G tube condenser microphone, and with a capsule based on the unqiue high-resolution large capsule C-100 – both revered tools in the world's best studios – the C-80 is built from sound design pedigree.
The C-80's characteristic peak around 13 kHz delivers outstanding vocal presence in any mix, as well as capturing the fullness of acoustic instruments.

Following the microphone capsule for the C-100, which has an established reputation for high sound quality, a new microphone capsule for the C-80 has been developed.

The acoustic impedance of the back plate has been reduced to achieve higher sensitivity. Insulation structure material made of high-strength, high-insulation polyetherimide (PEI) with high-precision resin machining is used for the capsule case and back electrode, and brass produced with high-precision machining is used for the capsule case and back electrode.
The diaphragm membrane is coated with 24-carat gold vapour deposition. By assembling and processing these materials with great attention, a high-precision, high-purity, low-distortion sound is realised.
