Sony C-100

Hi-Res Condenser Mic (Side Address) – Ideal for Vocal Applications

• Supports Hi-Res Recording (~50kHz)in an ultra-compact package
• Two-way structure incorporates newly developed capsules with variable directivity that deliver a wide frequency response of 20Hz to 50kHz
• Selectable pick-up pattern (Omni/Uni/Bi) supports a wide variety of recording applications
• Two-part metallic body structure succeeded from the C-800G microphone prevents acoustic vibration resulting in low noise and clear sound
• Low-Cut filter eliminates low-frequency noise and proximity effect
• -10dB pad switch provides added headroom
