Sony C-80 dual-diaphragm condenser microphone 2.0500

Dual-Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser

The Sony C-80 is a dual-diaphragm cardioid condenser microphone built for studio recording and broadcast applications. Its two-part metallic body structure rejects vibrations from the surrounding environment to deliver a focused, transparent capture of the source sound. The design minimises proximity effect, reducing unwanted bass buildup when vocalists work close to the capsule.

Low-Cut Filter and 10dB Pad

This microphone replaces basic large-diaphragm models that lack onboard signal conditioning. The integrated low-cut filter rolls off low-frequency rumble while the 10dB pad handles high-SPL sources without distortion. The jump is worthwhile when you need to record dynamic vocals or loud instruments cleanly without relying on external preamp attenuation or software correction.

Shockmount Isolation Under Load

Supplied with a dedicated shockmount, the C-80 maintains acoustic isolation during extended sessions where stand vibrations or floor noise would otherwise accumulate. The low-noise construction prevents acoustic vibration from colouring the signal over long takes. The included carrying case protects the assembly during transport between studio locations.
