Sony C-800G

It took a big chunch of change but this is well worth it! To hear this mic check out:
'One Sweet Day' - Mariah Carey/Boys II Men
'Endless Love' - Mariah Carey/Luther Vandross
'The Watcher' - Dr. Dre

LOVE IT!!

I Own Two

I have used these mics on talking Drums, Percussion tracks, Rap/R&B/Gospel Vocals and more. I did do a telefunken tube mod as well and these babies sing. My first call!

U HEARD ANYTHING PRODUCED BY DR. DRE? U HEARD THIS MIC!

first off let me just clarify i do not own this mic...but i been using it faithfully for 8 songs now in the passed 2 months as i have access to an amazing studio in downtown hollywood.

HANDS DOWN THE KING OF MICS... FOR ANYTHING U CAN PUT IN FRONT OF IT.
KILLS ANYTHING NEUMANN MAKES...IF YOU HEARD ANYTHING PRODUCED FROM DR. DRE YOUR HEARING THIS MIC! HE USES A NEVE 1073 PRE INTO AN SSL USING THE COMPRESSOR ON THE PARTICULAR CHANNEL STRIP. MY ENGINEER PUTS ME THROUGH THE SAME PRE BUT INTO A SUMMIT AUDIO TLA-100A COMPRESSOR THEN INTO PRO TOOLS HD 192. I NEVER IMAGINED MYSELF TO SOUND SO GOOD AND PROFESSIONAL...THANK YOU SONY FOR THE C-800G...AND SUMMIT FOR YOUR TLA-100a AND MOST IMPORTANT MY ENGINEER JASIN FOR WORKIN IT! MY MUSIC IS NOW AS MIND BLOWING IN QUALITY AS MY SONGS ARE IN GENERAL! IF YOU GOT THE CASH GET THIS MIC!!!!! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR BALLERS?

Unfortunately I can't afford one. :(

I sure wish I could afford this microphone, but I'm poor. Maybe someday in the future. I'm going to be the best recording engineer some day. That's my life goal. Look for "Jelly" in about 6 years!

sounding good

I am a recording artist and I had never seen this mic before. I went to this studio one day and I was recording with it and was thinking how amazing it was sounding. Then another artist came in to see if they could use the mic, then another producer came in to ask if they could use it. I was like I didn't know this certain mic was in such high demand. I was thinking... maybe I'll try to buy one for myself... searched the internet, saw the price, **** my pants... simple enough.... incredible mic, worth the price but it's not a necessity for that price.

this mic is great!!!!

this was my first order at sweetwater.. i have to say everyone on sweetwater team is friendly and give great advice there not gonna lie just to make a sale and sell you crap..there gonna work with your budget and give you the best you can get within your budget. i had a fairly good budget when i called and John Bamber at sweetwater suggested this mic. i benn extremely happy with this purchase and will continue to order my gear only from sweetwater....thanks John Bamber

sony c800g

i recently bought one of these mics and i have to say if your doing rap,pop,rnb this mic is for you theres nothing better if your into more rock stuff than id say go with an old trusty u87.. match this mic up with an avalon 737,dw fearn,greatriver or neve design preamp and youll have yourself a world class studio sound

Owning a Sony C-800g condensor Microphone

If you are lucky enough to ever come in contact with this microphone you will remember that day. (or those days) I am lucky enough to be the owner of a sony c-800g. I don't think I can say enough about this piece of equipment. It is the most versatile microphone I have ever used. It is so precise and quiet. I have recorded thunderstorms both right over us and... far away storms with just a little sprinkle of rain left and it still picks every little sound including the crickets that you don't even notice. I have recorded vocals of women and men and I get the deep sonic resanance of a low male and crisp glass tonic from a womans voice. I have recorded as drum overhead, and didn't even need to mic any of the toms or cymbals... I even a have used it as a room mic ready for a heavy electic guitar that ran sure 57's in front of a full stack Marshall and a TLS 100 wt head together with a Mesa Boogie full stack run with a triple rectifier 100 wt head and that Sony just kept giving me an extra choice that when I tracked it with the two 57's on each cabinet and the sony out in the room ....WOW what an advantage... It is warm when you need it with vocals. It is so sensitive when you want to hear the reeds on your bow from a cello. If you want ONE microphone...don't bother with Neuman or Manley or Blue or any other classy mic's. You will never be disapointed.
