Availability:
In StockAvailable for shipment within one business day, or pickup from our Jamaica, NY warehouse during regular business hours.
Description
The C80 is a uni-directional condenser microphone suitable for vocal/voice recording. Inheriting the microphone capsule used in the C-100 and using the same material as the C-800G for the diaphragm, this microphone inherits the essence of the predecessors. The dual diaphragm configuration suppresses sound characteristics changes with distance (proximity effect), enabling stable recording/distribution. "Noise Elimination Construction" succeeded from C-800G/C-100 prevents acoustic vibration resulting in low noise and clear sound.
Features:
-
Excellent Sound Quality
A powerful and rich mid-low frequency range provides vocals and voice recordings with a core sound and presence. -
Dual Diaphragm Configuration
The dual diaphragm configuration realizes stable recording/distribution by suppressing sound characteristic changes with distance (proximity effect). -
Noise Elimination Construction
The two-part metallic body structure succeeded from the C-800G/C-100 microphone prevents acoustic vibration, resulting in low noise and clear sound. -
Low-Cut Filter
The low-Cut filter switch helps eliminate the low-frequency noise and proximity effect. -
Pad Switch
A -10dB pad switch on the microphone provides added headroom and minimizes distortion caused by transient peaks.
