he Miktek CV4 is a large-diaphragm tube condenser
T
microphone offering nine pick-up patterns. e CV4’s
sound is truly large and produces a musical response that will
please artists, producers and most seasoned engineers alike.
e bottom end is big, warm and tight, with mids that are pres-
ent and even, along with a high frequency response that’s sweet
and airy. e CV4 is ideal for recording single vocalists, and
perfect for acoustic instruments, groups of vocals, piano, string
ensembles, winds, overheads on a drum kit or as ambient room
mics.
For enhanced control, the CV4 includes a high-pass filter
and –10dB pad for high SPL applications.
e CV4 utilizes the MK9 capsule developed by Miktek.
is unique capsule features dual 1-inch diaphragms manu-
factured using 4-micron Mylar with a 0.4-micron layer of
evaporated gold, which is precisely tensioned, mounted to
carefully-tuned backplates, and set back-to-back to create the
final capsule. Tight tolerances and special attention to precise
machining of the backplate produce a linear off-axis response
that ensures the accuracy of the microphone.
e heart and soul of the CV4’s head amplifier is the AMI
BT4 transformer, which offers a classic sound and an extended
low frequency response found in the earliest versions of the
most famous vintage tube microphones. Together with
an original NOS (new-old-stock) Telefunken EF800
tube, in which the high-voltage circuit has been
uniquely implemented, the microphone
challenges the performance of the
best-in-class industry standards
without hesitation.
e Miktek CV4 is hand-built
using components from the US,
Europe and Asia, and is tested
and packaged in Nashville, Tennessee,
USA. Each microphone includes its serial-
ized frequency response graph created during
final testing.
e CV4 is packaged with its swivel mount in a wooden box,
which is set inside an aluminum case with the included power
supply unit, 7-pin XLR cable and shock mount.
