C-48

The Sony C 48 is a large diaphragm, multi-pattern condenser microphone designed for vocal and general instrument recording and sound reinforcement. The C 48 features 3 selectable polar-patterns. Cardioid, omni-directional and bi-directional (figure eight) patterns provide the flexibility needed for any recording application. The C 48 is powered via +48 volt phantom or 9 Volt DC alkaline battery. The capsule is securely housed in a vibration proof enclosure eliminating noise caused by handling. A 10dB Pad switch improves Sound Pressure Level handling. A 2 position low-frequency roll-off switch reduces hum and noise registered at lower frequencies.
