Overview

For professional vocal tracking, broadcast, and disciplined monitoring environments, the Sony Media C-80 uni-directional condenser microphone delivers clear, low-noise capture that keeps spoken word and singing natural and intelligible. This Sony Media pro microphone uses a premium diaphragm and dual-diaphragm design inherited from higher-end models to minimize proximity effect and preserve tonal balance across takes. With a wide 20Hz–20kHz frequency response and a sensitivity tuned for studio environments (-30 dB), the C-80 records detailed audio while the Noise Elimination Construction reduces mechanical and acoustic interference for consistently clean results.

Designed for integration into pro studios, OB vans, AV installations and security/surveillance monitoring setups, the C-80 includes practical features such as a low-cut filter and pad switch plus standard XLR connectivity for reliable, low-impedance (90 Ω) performance. Whether you’re producing podcasts, voiceovers, live broadcasts or surveillance audio feeds, the C-80 provides robust, professional-grade capture. Add the Sony Media C-80 to your mic locker for dependable vocal clarity and controlled monitoring—ideal for recording, broadcast and security audio applications.
