Sony F-780

The Sony F-780 is a dynamic microphone with hypercardioid characteristics. It is ideal for live vocals. Its 50 Hz – 18 kHz range covers speech and singing, the hypercardioid pattern rejects sound from the sides, and it connects via XLR. The dynamic design needs neither phantom power nor a battery and handles loud sources without distortion.

Connection over XLR

XLR is the standard for live sound and for filming: a balanced signal that picks up no hum even on a long cable. The microphone weighs 290 g, so it stays comfortable in the hand.

Hypercardioid directivity

It captures mainly what is in front of it and rejects sound from the sides — in a noisy room that decides whether the recording is intelligible.

50 Hz – 18 kHz range

The band suits speech and singing; the lower limit cuts rumble that does not belong to the voice.

Sensitivity −54 dB ±2 dB

A figure for setting preamp gain — a dynamic microphone needs more gain than a condenser.

No power needed

The dynamic design requires no phantom power or battery, so it works on a simple recorder too.
