SONY C-38B
January 2004—The Sony C-38B mic is now available in the U.S. When it was first introduced in 1965, the original C-38 was the world's first Field Effects Transistor (FET) microphone. The mic was then updated in 1969 to the model C-38A with a change in the windscreen design, and again in 1971 to the C-38B by adding phantom power (9-volt battery or external DC 24V to 48V). The C-38B features 30-18k Hz frequency response, selectable pattern (cardioid or omni) and a dynamic range of 116 dB. Price: $2,200.
SONY C-38B REISSUE
November 2003—The 1965 Sony C-38 was the world's first FET mic, which after a few minor changes sold more than 65,000 units worldwide. Now, the famed dual-pattern (cardioid/omni) condenser C-38B is back at AES NYC as a faithful $2,200 reissue.
