The Sony C-800g PAC is a large-diaphragm condenser valve microphone designed to provide the highest possible sound reproduction quality and is ideal for vocal recording in studio or post-production.
The Sony C-800g PAC uses a high quality dual large-diaphragm tuned to perfectly reproduce vocal qualities nicely complemented by the richness and warmth of a 6AU6 vacuum tube. Unlike any other tube microphones, the Sony C-800g uses a unique Peltier-based cooling system to ensure the optimum temperature for operation of the valve.
The Sony C-800g offers a choice of two polar patterns, either cardioid or omni which can be selected electronically depending on the recording requirements. Throughout its history, the Sony C-800g has become a reference for pop, rock and hip-hop vocals, and a go-to microphone for everything vocal related.
