Josephson C700A Microphone

Why you need theJosephson C700A Microphone:

Series Seven microphones provide unprecedented flexibility, as the directionalpattern of the mic can be adjusted in use, during or after recording. C700microphones include omni/pressure and figure-8/gradient capsules, each with adiscrete output. The signals can be recorded on separate tracks, so the pattern canbe selected in mixdown. Pattern control is only one advantage of this technique.Applying different equalization or dynamic control to the capsule signals makesentirely different mic characteristics for instance the warmth of a gradient micused close up for vocals might be combined with the transparency of a pressuremic in the highs, by rolling off the high frequencies in the gradient signal and thelows in the pressure signal before they are combined.

The C700A includes two capsules in one housing, a 16mm omni elementsimilar to the KA11 capsule in the Series Six, and a 26mm figure-8 capsule.Completely neutral electronics, using the same cascode FET input, class-A activebalanced output circuit found in the Series Six, are provided for each signal. Anydirectional pattern from omni to figure-8 may be selected by controlling the ratioof pressure to gradient signals.
