Sony C100 Hi Res Mic Review / Test

Today we look at the successor to the famous Sony C800G, the C100. This is a solid state two way condenser mic with a frequency response of 20Hz - 20kHz. It offers a hyper-detailed and articulate sound as well as a clear mid section and a surprisingly hefty low end.
