Intended use

Use Studio vocal tracking and film/TV post-production where the C-800G's characteristic tube warmth, high sensitivity (-32 dB/Pa), and low self-noise are wanted. Suits engineers who need one microphone that switches electronically between cardioid and omni, and who record in a controlled studio with a fixed power supply.
Not for Buyers needing live, field, or portable use; those working exclusively outside North American mains, since the cited source lists power as 120V AC/60Hz only; anyone needing polar patterns beyond cardioid/omni or high-frequency extension above 18 kHz; and budget-conscious buyers, as this is a high-end studio instrument requiring its dedicated power supply and cabling.

Product details

The Sony C-800G PAC is a large-diaphragm tube condenser microphone designed for studio vocal recording and film post-production. It uses a dual large-diaphragm capsule paired with a 6AU6A vacuum tube, and includes a Peltier-based cooling system that regulates the tube's operating temperature to keep noise and distortion low. Its pickup pattern is electronically selectable between unidirectional (cardioid) and omnidirectional. The microphone connects through a dedicated power supply unit via a JIS-type connector and operates on 120V AC, 60Hz.
