Sony has launched the MDR-MV1 Reference Monitor Headphones, aimed at professional sound engineers and music creators.
Alongside it, Sony also introduces C-80 microphone, which inherits technology from the company’s popular C-800G and C-100 microphones and is designed for vocal/voice recording, instrumental recording, vlogging, webcasting, and podcasting.
The MDR-MV1 Reference Monitor Headphones provide accurate reproduction of sound for mixing and mastering, with an open-back design that enables the accurate reproduction of a wide sound field, making them a suitable option for immersive spatial sound such as 360 Reality Audio.
The headphones offer extended spatial sound reproducibility and accurate sound object positioning within a 360-degree space, as well as clear, hi-resolution, nuanced sound with a super-wide frequency range and accurate soundstage.
They also feature breathable earpads and a lightweight, comfortable design, making them ideal for extended use.
The C-80 microphone is ideal for home studios and provides high-quality sound for vocal and instrumental recording, vlogging, webcasting, and podcasting.
It inherits the technology of Sony’s revered C-800G and popular C-100 microphones, utilizing a microphone capsule derived from the C-100 and a two-part metallic anti-vibrational body structure used in the C-800G. The microphone’s “Noise Elimination Construction” prevents microphone body acoustic vibration, resulting in low noise and clear sound.
It also features a dual-diaphragm configuration that suppresses sonic changes with distance, allowing for more stability in the recording process.
The C-80 provides tight and rich mid-range capture, providing a clear core and presence to vocals that allows them to stand out even when mixed with other instrumental sounds.
It also provides a realistic reproduction of the characteristics of an instrument, such as the sound of guitar strings and the resonance of the body, while suppressing boomy low frequencies and noise when close to the microphone, resulting in a natural and clear recording.
