Designed for the highest possible sound reproduction quality, this microphone is ideal for critical vocal recording in recording studios and film post-production houses.

Critical Vocal Recordings
The use of a rigorously selected vacuum tube gives this microphone its superb sonic quality, particularly at high frequencies and with exceptionally low noise levels. With a high sensitivity of -32dB/Pa, this microphone can capture subtle nuances at high frequencies with low noise levels and minimum distortion. With a wide dynamic range and ability to resolve subtle sound detail, the sonic quality is expressed as rich, natural and sensitive with an outstanding response to fast transients.
The C-800G is particularly suitable for critical vocal recording in recording studios and film and video post-production houses, where sound clarity and nuance are essential.
Superior Noise Elimination and Advanced Cooling System Construction
The design incorporates a two-part body construction that effectively helps prevent acoustic vibration from reaching the microphone capsule, resulting in clarity of reproduction.
The C-800G is also the first microphone in the world to incorporate a built-in thermo-electric cooling system employing a semiconductor device, heat pipe and heat sink, which greatly contribute to the low noise and low distortion characteristics.
Selectable Directivity
The C-800G provides electronically selectable directivity, either omni-directional or uni-directional, for maximum flexibility and control over pickup angle.
