Miktek CV4

Description

The CV4 is Miktek’s flagship condenser. It is a large-diaphragm, multipattern mic built around a NOS Telefunken EF800 tube and AMI’s BT4 output transformer.

Miktek CV4The capsule is a K67 derivative, built in China to Miktek’s specifications. It is electrically similar to Neumann’s K67/K870, in that the spacer between the backplates is conductive, and the two backplates share a single output wire.

The diaphragm diameter is 25mm. The twin diaphragms are made of 4-micron Mylar and are center-terminated.

The mics are assembled and tested in Nashville using components from around the world.

The mic ships its power supply, 7-pin XLR cable, both a swivel mount and an elastic shockmount, and wooden presentation case, all packed into an aluminum flightcase.

We will update this profile with additional specs once they are made available.
