Based on the\nmicrophone capsule of the C-100 and using the same diaphragm material as the\nC-800G, the C-80 has a peak characteristic of around 13 kHz, making vocal or\nvoice presence stand out among other instrument sounds. It features a strong\npresence and rich reproduction of low and mid frequencies. Dual diaphragms\nreduce the proximity effect. Natural vocal and voice recording is possible even\nwhen vocalization is made at a position close to the microphone. In addition, a\nlow-cut filter to eliminate unwanted low-frequency noise and a pad switch\nfunction to minimize distortion caused by excessive input sound is equipped for\nrecording in a home studio.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eVocal\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/b\u003eTight and rich mid-range capture provides a vocal sound with a clear core\nand presence, allowing vocals to stand out even when mixed with other\ninstrumental sounds. The high-frequency range with a sense of loss reproduces\neven the finest nuances, such as delicate breathing. The overall\nstraightforward and natural sound does not require complex post-processing.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eInstruments\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/b\u003eIn recordings of acoustic guitars and pianos, the characteristics of the\ninstruments, such as the scrape of guitar strings and the resonance of the\nbody, are realistically reproduced with a firm, extended low-end, and natural\noverall balance. The dynamic and dense sound also brings the instruments closer\nto the listener.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eVoice\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/b\u003eNatural and clear voice recording is achieved by suppressing boomy low\nfrequency and noise when vocalization is made close to the microphone. The\nforward-focused directional characteristics and low-cut filter prevent the\nmicrophone from picking up ambient and low-frequency noise, making it suitable\nfor live broadcasts.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCapsule of C-80\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/b\u003eFollowing the microphone capsule for the C-100, which has an established\nreputation for high sound quality, a new microphone capsule for the C-80 has\nbeen developed. The acoustic impedance of the back plate has been reduced to\nachieve higher sensitivity. Insulation structure material made of\nhigh-strength, high-insulation polyetherimide (PEI) with high-precision resin\nmachining is used for the capsule case and back electrode, and brass with\nhigh-precision machining is used for the capsule case and back electrode. The\ndiaphragm membrane is coated with 24-carat gold vapor deposition. By assembling\nand processing these materials with high precision, a high-precision,\nhigh-purity, low-distortion sound is realized. On the back of the capsule, an\n‘acoustic shifting circuit’ is employed to adjust not only the sound quality\ncollected from the surface but also the sound quality collected from the rear\nside to achieve a unidirectional characteristic. In addition, a diaphragm is\nalso placed on the rear side to suppress the proximity effect (dual diaphragm\nstructure).\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMicrophone case\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/b\u003eHigh specific gravity zinc die-cast is used to ensure anti-vibration and\nvibration-damping properties.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMesh\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/b\u003eThe same material as that used for C-100 was selected because it affects\nthe extension of the high frequency range and sound damping.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSleeve\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/b\u003eHigh specific gravity zinc die-cast is used to ensure anti-vibration and\nvibration-damping properties.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eReflector\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/b\u003eTo minimize the influence of unwanted reflected waves on sound quality, a\nmaterial with low intrinsic sound and habitual characteristics was selected.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TD Synnex - Sony","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42171303362608,"sku":"C80-SONY","price":568.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0622\/3219\/9216\/files\/3330778.jpg?v=1752278445","url":"https:\/\/focuscamera.com\/products\/sony-c80-sony-production-equipment-audio-microphones-wireless-systems","provider":"Focus Camera","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
