Sony’s C-80 Uni-directional Condenser Microphone has a frequency response between 20Hz and 20kHz, ensuring it can pick up a wide range of sounds.

What microphone cable is required for the Sony C-80 Uni-directional Condenser Microphone?

The Sony C-80 Uni-directional Condenser Microphone requires an XLR 3-pin cable, which you must purchase separately.

What is a uni-directional microphone?

A unidirectional microphone picks up sound directly in front, isolating your desired sound from off-axis and ambient sounds for precise results.

Buy now pay later

The Buy Now Pay Later option comprises a 36 month loan following a six month deferral period.

During the six-month deferral period, it is possible to pay off the loan, either by way of a lump sum or in smaller amounts. If the loan is partially repaid within six months, the remaining interest will be adjusted to reflect the new balance. If the loan is fully repaid within the six-month deferral period, then no interest is payable, however, a £29 early settlement fee is payable in respect of repayments within these six months.

Following the six-month deferral period, Novuna Personal Finance will initiate a monthly direct debit payment for the remaining duration of the loan. Interest will be charged at a rate of 18.9% APR (representative) on outstanding balances (backdated to the first date of the loan). Novuna Personal Finance will send a reminder letter approximately one month before the six-month deferral period is due to elapse.
