Professional audio products such as the condenser microphones "C-38B" and "C-800G" and monitor headphones "MDR-CD900ST" that are used in many recording studios. Manufactured by Sony Taiyo, a Japanese factory that has been producing for many years. Under the thorough quality control cultivated in professional products, each one is carefully assembled by hand by skilled craftsmen.

SONY omnidirectional electret condenser microphone suitable for high-resolution recording. It is possible to naturally collect direct and indirect sounds in the space up to ultra-high frequencies. Zinc die-casting with high specific gravity is used for the chassis to ensure anti-vibration and damping. Reduces sound turbidity caused by unnecessary resonance. The low-cut filter and the pad switch are carried.

An omni-directional electret condenser microphone that picks up direct and indirect sound in a space without coloring up to the ultra-high range, and is also suitable for high-resolution recording.

feature

An omnidirectional electret condenser microphone that uses a newly developed wideband recording microphone capsule and is also suitable for high-resolution recording.

The newly developed microphone capsule achieves highly reproducible sound pickup up to 50kHz by making the diaphragm thinner and lighter and reducing the acoustic impedance of the back electrode plate. In addition, polyetherimide (PEI), which has high strength and high insulation properties, is cut with high precision and used as an insulating structural material. High-precision machined brass is used for the capsule case and back electrode. High-precision assembly processing achieves high-precision sound pickup with little distortion. Furthermore, by adopting a vibration film vapor-deposited with 24 gold, high-purity sound quality has been achieved. ECM-100N achieves flat frequency response up to 50kHz. It is possible to pick up the sound that resonates in the space without coloring it.

Inherits the "soundproof housing structure" adopted in the C-800G

Zinc die-casting with high specific gravity is used for the chassis to ensure anti-vibration and damping. Machined brass is used for the microphone housing, and the combination of dissimilar metals eliminates turbidity in the sound due to unnecessary resonance.

Directivity and frequency response

Common functions of C-100/ECM-100U/ECM-100N

・Introduced a thick copper foil substrate with a copper foil thickness of 70 μm for the first time as Sony. It contributes to the richness of the mid-low range, the height of the density, and the high resolution of the high range.

・Transparency and clarity of sound quality are improved by adopting film capacitors for all capacitors in the signal line.

・High-precision metal film resistors are used for all resistors in the signal line. It delivers powerful and accurate sound quality.

・A hybrid aluminum electrolytic capacitor that achieves miniaturization and large capacity is used in the power supply line to improve the smoothness of the power supply. Contributes to dynamic and accurate sound pickup.

・The gold-plated contact XLR-3-12C type is used for the output terminal.
