Take your audio recording to the next level with the Sony C-38B Professional Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone, a versatile and robust tool designed for the discerning audio professional. This microphone stands out in the industry with its exceptional frequency response range of 30Hz to 18kHz, ensuring that every nuance of sound is captured with clarity and precision.
The Sony C-38B is renowned for its adaptability across various applications, from broadcast production to music recording studios. Its large diaphragm offers a rich, warm sound that is ideal for capturing both vocal performances and a wide array of instruments. The microphone excels in handling high sound pressure levels, making it particularly effective for recording loud instruments such as drums, brass, and woodwinds without compromising audio quality.
Equipped with a condenser element, the C-38B microphone boasts dual switchable polar patterns - omnidirectional for capturing sound in a 360-degree radius, and unidirectional (cardioid) for focused pickup, minimizing background noise. This feature allows for unparalleled control and flexibility, enabling you to tailor the pickup pattern to suit the specific requirements of any recording environment.
To further enhance its performance, the C-38B includes a low cut filter switch that effectively reduces unwanted low-frequency noise, such as rumble or wind noise, ensuring a cleaner and clearer recording. Additionally, an 8 dB pad switch is available to optimize gain settings and minimize the risk of distortion when recording high-volume sources.
The Sony C-38B's reputation for reliability is backed by its long-standing use by recording engineers worldwide. Its simple setup and powerful performance make it a go-to microphone for both studio and field recording. With its durable construction and proven track record, the C-38B continues to be a reliable choice for professionals seeking top-tier audio capture.
Whether you're recording in a professional studio setting or out in the field, the Sony C-38B Professional Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone is engineered to deliver superior sound quality and versatility, solidifying its status as a staple in the audio recording industry.
