Static Microphone

Sony C-80, the studio heritage for your home studio. The Sony C-80 inherits the excellence of the legendary C-800G. Featuring a large 25 mm capsule and a double diaphragm, this condenser microphone captures vocals with exceptional presence while limiting the proximity effect. Ideal for the home studio, it faithfully reproduces acoustic instruments and vocals with minimal distortion, guaranteeing pure, professional sound right out of the box.

The Sony C-80 redefines proximity recording standards for demanding sound engineers. Incorporating the diaphragm of the legendary C-800G and a capsule inspired by the C-100, this microphone offers superior vocal presence thanks to an optimised frequency response around 13 kHz.

Its technical design is based on cutting-edge materials: a polyetherimide (PEI) backplate to reduce acoustic impedance and a 24-carat gold vapour-deposited diaphragm. This combination ensures high sensitivity and extremely low distortion.

For close miking, its dual diaphragm structure effectively reduces proximity effect, while the switchable low-pass filter eliminates unwanted resonances at the bottom of the spectrum. The result is a clear, powerful sound that stands out naturally in the mix without the need for complex post-production.

To understand the technology behind the C-80: The Sony C-80 acts like a high-definition camera lens with an optical stabiliser: the capsule captures every visual detail (sound) with exceptional clarity, while the double iris prevents 'blur' (the proximity effect) when you get too close to the subject.
