Josephson C700S Stereo Microphone

Why you need theJosephson C700S Stereo 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 C700S microphone has three capsules; an additional side-facing figure-8capsule is added to the two in the C700A. Any coincident stereo pickup can bederived from mixing these three signals together, and like the C700A, the signalscan be recorded individually and all aspects of image width and pattern controlmay be adjusted in the mixdown. With the three capsule signals, any number ofmicrophone outputs may be created, each one pointed anywhere in the planearound the microphone.
