e frequency response is warm on the bottom and silky-sweet on the top, yet at the same time, the midrange is natural and open. e microphone produces amazing results when recording acoustic instru­ments, guitar amps, or as overheads on a drum kit. But of course, the C7 really excels on vocal applications.
e C7 utilizes the new MK7 capsule developed by Miktek engi­neers, featuring dual 1-inch diaphragms made using 4-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.
e C7’s head amplifier has been designed around the AMI T7 trans­former and, together with the implementation of high-quality com­ponents including hand-selected transistors, offers a sweet response reminiscent of highly desirable vintage microphones.
In addition, the innovated head amplifier design features a unique circuit that allows the engineer to switch the capsule bias voltage from +48 to +60 volts. is proprietary circuit implementation essentially provides the mic with two voices; allowing you to choose between a classic and modern microphone. At +48 volts the capsule’s diaphragm is under less tension, so it’s able to react to extremely subtle changes in sound pressure; enabling the microphone to capture the slightest nuances in any performance. When the bias voltage is set to +60 volts, the C7 is extremely accurate and articulate.
e Miktek C7 is hand assembled, tested and packaged in Nashville, Tennessee, USA using components from the US, Europe and Asia. Each microphone includes its serialized frequency response graph created during final testing.
e C7 is packaged with its swivel mount, in a wooden box, and set inside a rugged aluminum case along with the included shock mount.
