Is This $11,000 Microphone Actually Worth It? (Sony C800g Review, Audio Examples, Mic Shootout)

Подробнее о видео

Let's talk about why I bought a Sony C800g for $11,000... Was this mic a waste of money? Is is worth it? How did I get my hands on it? I answer all of these questions and more in this video. I also did some audio examples of this microphone so you can hear what it sounds like in action, and I did a shootout of this mic and 8 other mics ranging from $289 to $15,000.
