A low-noise, high-gain Field Effect Transistor preamplifier stagea n d a transformer with excellent transmission characteristics enable the C-48 to achieve its flat frequency response over awide30-16,000 Hz range Low distortion. The C-48 can also handle a minimum of 128dB SPL without audiblecoloration or distortion. That means you can record at high sound pressure input levels without loss in signal quality. PADswitch. The Sony C-48 features a 10dB PAD between capsule and preamplifier to preventoverload at sound pressure levels above 128dB. Low-cut switch. To compensate for proximity effect, the C-48 incorporates a high passfilter to roll off low-frequency sensitivity, yielding flat frequency responsein close miking situations. 2-wav power source. Choose internal battery power or external power supply (with optional AC-148F AC power source). Whichever you choose, you'll get professional microphone performance you can count on.
