Josephson Engineering C700A
MSRP: $5,200 Multi-Pattern Condenser Microphone
Description
The Series Seven microphones from Josephson include both omnidirectional and bidirectional capsules with discrete outputs, allowing the pickup pattern to be adjusted at mixdown.
The C700A has a single 5-pin XLR output connector, but is shipped with a breakout adapter that splits into two standard XLR jacks.
The omni element is 16mm in diameter. It is mounted atop a 26mm pressure gradient capsule with a figure-of-8 pickup pattern. In use, either or both capsules can be recorded, and later mixed in any combination.
MIXVarying the ratio of the [omni] channel to [figure 8] channel changes the shape of the pattern. With no [figure 8] channel added, the result is omni; hypercardioid when [omni] is 10 dB lower than [figure 8]; or wide-cardioid when the [omni] channel exceeds the level of the [figure 8] channel by a significant amount.
The capsules are internally shock-mounted, avoiding the need for a separate external shockmount.
The Josephson Engineering C700A is also known as: C700.
