The Sony C800G PAC is one of those mics that reminds you why you got into this business. It has a downright magical quality to that makes any instrument instantly come to life. This large dual-diaphragm condenser microphone uses a hand-selected 6AU6 vacuum tube, custom cooling system and external power supply to deliver the highest possible sound quality.
The Sony C800G Pac is one of the most highly revered microphones of all time, a title typically reserved for vintage tube mics and pre-war ribbon mics. Sony released this modern marvel in 1992, and it quickly became a favorite of rap, pop and R&B vocalists for its bright, detailed sound. Artists like J. Cole, Dr. Dre and Eminem have been known to record using the C-800G. Kanye West even used it to capture his subdued flow on "Through the Wire".
The C800G Pac features two polar patterns: cardioid and omnidirectional. While the cardioid setting sounds great for recording vocals, the omnidirectional pattern excels at capturing room tones and ambient sounds, making it perfect for capturing acoustic instruments.
The C800G PAC is a rare contemporary classic, but it draws its inspiration from the vintage mics of yesteryear. Utilizing the same capsule design as the Neumann K67 large-diaphragm condenser mic, the C800G offers a silky, brilliant quality without a hint of harshness. The C800G also features a hand-selected 6AU6 vacuum tube, which provides pleasant analog warmth in the lower-mids to compliment the brilliant top end.
OK, let’s talk about the elephant in the room. What the heck is that radiator-looking thing hanging off the back of the mic? Much like a radiator, it’s a built-in cooling system designed to reduce internal noise and eliminate distortion. The C-800G boasts one of the most impressive noise floors of any mic, allowing it to capture intimate recordings with breath-taking detail.
El mejor micrófono del mundo desde el 2022 lo tengo y es la mejor inversión que he hecho.
This was not my first purchase at VK, but honestly, this was my best decision in the century. No microphone can come close to the genuine Sony C800G. Thanks a lot to Alex for making it happen!
Best mic on planet earth!! The clarity is insane I prefer the C800G to the Telefunken 251 that mic is great too don’t get me wrong, but I picked this bad boy on a blind shootout every time when I was looking to buy my first premier microphone doesn’t get any better than this order one now!!!!
Best Mic on the market. Thanks for everything!
What a great addition to my mic locker. The body and sheen is just amazing on this mic.
“Wow” 🤩 Is all I can say!!! This microphone is magical to put it in perspective!!! I have been wanting the Sony 800 ever since iv learned about microphone’s and what there purpose is, and how they work in harmony with other board gear to create, and give you a sound like nothing you’ve ever heard before. Absolutely my #1 go to!!!
above and beyond anything else!
