About Sony C-100

While the Sony C-100 High-Resolution 2-Way Condenser Microphone is a state-of-the-art audio recording device, it's more than just a microphone. Designed for high-resolution audio compatibility, it's an ideal choice for both vocal and critical instrument recording in professional studio environments.

This microphone incorporates Sony's newly developed double microphone capsules and a noise elimination structure, a technology originally employed in the renowned C-800G microphone. This advanced design allows the C-100 to deliver an impressive broad frequency range of 20 to 50,000 Hz, ensuring excellent reproduction of vocal and musical qualities.

The condenser element of the C-100 microphone offers a selectable pick-up pattern, including Omni, Uni, and Bi, making it adaptable to various recording applications. This feature enhances the sound quality, realizing both a broad high range and a resonant mid-low range, thereby providing a remarkable vocal presence.

The wide frequency response of the C-100 microphone, ranging from 20 Hz to 50kHz, ensures superb sound reproduction quality, making it a perfect match for High-Resolution Audio. The two-part metallic body structure, inherited from the C-800G microphone, effectively prevents acoustic vibration, resulting in low noise and crystal-clear sound.

The C-100 microphone also features switchable uni-directional, omni-directional, and Figure-8 polar patterns, offering versatility for various recording applications. The built-in low-cut filter switch helps eliminate low-frequency noise and proximity effect, ensuring a clean and clear recording.

Additionally, the C-100 microphone is equipped with a -10dB pad switch, providing added headroom and minimizing distortion caused by transient peaks. This feature makes the Sony C-100 High-Resolution 2-Way Condenser Microphone a reliable tool for capturing high-quality audio in any professional recording scenario.
