C7e

Common name: Miktek C7e

Production Status: In production

The Miktek C7e is a large diaphragm multi-pattern FET condenser microphone employing the new MK7 capsule developed by Miktek , featuring dual 1-inch diaphragms made using 5-micron Mylar with a 0.4-micron layer of evaporated gold. Diaphragms are then precisely tensioned, mounted to carefully tuned backplates, and finally set back-to-back, with electronic isolation, to create the finished capsule. The head amplifier has been designed around the AMI T7 transformer and uses high quality components, including hand-selected transistors. The head amplifier design features a unique circuit that allows the user to switch the capsule bias voltage from +44 to +60 volts to alter the capsule response depending on recording application. With the bias set at +44 volts the capsule’s diaphragm is under less tension, so it reacts to extremely subtle changes in sound pressure enabling the microphone to capture the slightest nuances while when the voltage is set to +60 volts, the capsule reacts in a very accurate and articulate manner. The microphone comes with an aluminium case, wood case, swivel mount and shock-mount.
