Stam Audio Engineering SA-800G • Large Dual-Diaphragm Tube Condenser Microphone

OVERVIEW

The Stam Audio SA-800G is a true-to-spec replica of the legendary Sony C-800G – one of the most revered and sought-after microphones in the recording world. Known for its silky top end, pristine clarity, and ability to capture vocals and instruments with unmatched intimacy, the C-800G has long been reserved for elite studios with elite budgets. With the SA-800G, Stam Audio has faithfully recreated every nuance of this classic design, making it finally accessible without compromise.

Built around a custom K67 capsule crafted in the USA from original 1970s backplates, the SA-800G delivers the same shimmering high end and beautiful tonal balance as the original. A NOS 6AU6 vacuum tube and dedicated Peltier cooling system ensure optimal performance, while a custom Sowter output transformer and all-tube power supply provide warmth, depth, and character. Each microphone is hand-built in Chile using premium resistors, capacitors, and carefully matched components, then tested and burned in for 72 hours to guarantee flawless operation.

The result is a microphone that performs identically to the iconic C-800G: incredibly quiet, remarkably sensitive, and beautifully musical. Whether capturing vocals, acoustic guitars, or intimate instruments, the SA-800G delivers a level of detail and smoothness usually reserved for only the most exclusive studios.
