C-100 High Res Audio 2-vägs kondensatormikrofon

Sony C-100 är en  för studiobruk med avancerad mikrofonteknologi som gör den kompatibel med “Hi-Resolution Audio”.

C-100s nyutvecklade dubbelmikrofonkapsel använder teknik från den världsberömda studiomikrofonen C-800G och har avancerad bruseliminering och fantastisk återgivning av både sång och musikinstrument.

Mikrofonen är ett kraftfullt inspelningsverktyg med utmärkt ljudkvalitet, ett brett frekvensomfång, bruseliminering, ett “low cut” filter och tre valbara polära mönster: Omni, Uni (cardioid) och Bi (figur-8). Innehåller dubbla kapslar.
In the C-100, a smaller capsule with a dual 17mm diaphragm sits atop a larger one that features a 25mm dual diaphragm. Condenser + Back electret condenser.

PROS: Tremendous marriage of character and precision to the sound; solid build quality; compact size; dual capsules innovative and effective.

CONS: You’d really want a pair…

"Sony Pro Audio apparently spent a lot of time working with Sony Music trying out different tunings for the capsule — and that work really shows here."

"But only a handful of times have I ever been so utterly impressed by a microphone on first presentation — and on nothing more exciting than spoken word. There’s a warmth and depth to the lower registers that sounds powerful but never woolly, but this is overlaid by a precision to the  Sony have been very quiet of late — at least in terms of the studio microphone market. Of course, they’ve maintained a significant presence in wired and wireless microphones for broadcast and video, but have steered clear of the studio since the C-800G. Still, if you’re going to sit back, you may as well do it in style after producing such a truly iconic microphone."

"This is where the C-100 comes in. With a useful (and supposedly reasonably flat) frequency response that extends from 20Hz all the way up to 50kHz, it certainly earns the badge. A squint through the head grille gives an indication as to how this has been achieved, with two capsule assemblies."

"The C-100 is a compact affair, and looks extremely well screwed together. Stubby slide switches on the front and rear of the microphone body provide pattern selection (fig-8, omni, cardioid), a -10dB pad and a high pass filter. The model provided for review was a pre-production version, and inevitably there are already some changes slated for the final production model. These include changing these switches due to noise issues (although I didn’t encounter any problems) and providing a higher quality shock-mount the pre-production version felt a bit lightweight and out of keeping with a premium product."

"But only a handful of times have I ever been so utterly impressed by a microphone on first presentation — and on nothing more exciting than spoken word. There’s a warmth and depth to the lower registers that sounds powerful but never woolly, but this is overlaid by a precision to the mid-range and HF detail that means that you don’t actually feel like you are listening through a microphone at all. The cardioid pattern is very smooth and tight sounding, with strong rear rejection, which helpsunderline this characteristic on spoken word.
