What We Think

The Sony C800G is clearly a well known and loved microphone. The first time I used it, and really heard it with my own ears, I understood what it was all about. The word that best describes the Sony C800G to me, is "Purity". What you feed it, is what you get. The nuances, the detail and clarity is all there. But, there is a warmth and musicality to it - that just makes the recording better. It's like it is lifting up the voice, letting it stand out and be truly heard. The C800G also has a large dimensional sound that brings forth the life of the performance. This mic has some magic to it. And while it sounds amazing of vocals (and you can clearly tell that a lot of love and care went into designing it for that) - the C800G is also amazing on acoustic guitars and pianos.
