From Sony
The Sony C-100 is a two way condenser microphone, compatible with High-Resolution Audio, and suitable for vocal and critical instrument recording in the studio. Incorporating newly developed double microphone capsules and noise elimination structure, originally employed in the C-800G microphone, the C-100 delivers a broad frequency range of 20 to 50,000 Hz and excellent reproduction of vocal and musical qualities. The condenser element of the C-100 microphone provides a selectable pick-up pattern (Omni/Uni/bi-directional) for various recording applications.
Highlights:
- Hi-Res 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 employed in 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
Excellent Sound Quality:
Two-way diaphragm structure realizes both broad high range and resonant mid-low range and gives great vocal presence.
Wide Frequency Response:
The C-100 microphone has a broad frequency response (20 Hz to 50kHz) and provides superb sound reproduction quality for High-Resolution Audio.
Noise Elimination Construction:
Two-part metallic body structure employed in C-800G microphone prevents acoustic vibration resulting in low noise and clear sound.
Switchable Polar Patterns:
The C-100 microphone features switchable uni-directional, omni-directional and bi-directional ploar patterns for various recording applications.
Low-Cut Filter:
Low-Cut filter switch helps eliminate low-frequency noise and proximity effect.
Pad Switch:
A -10dB pad switch on C-100 microphone provides added headroom and minimizes distortion caused by transient peaks.
