The Miktek C5 Microphone is a small diaphragm cardioid pencil condenser mic designed for the critical recording of acoustic instruments. With MK5a cardioid capsule, AMI T5 transformer and high quality hand-selected transistors, the C5 is perfect for recording violin, acoustic guitar, mandolin, dobro, brass, woodwind, and piano. The Miktek C5 Microphone provides discerning engineers with a valuable new tool for the critical recording of acoustic instruments. The Miktek C5 Microphone, fitted with the MK5a, 0.5-inch cardioid capsule, produces a super-linear, full-bodied response. The capsule employs a 5-micron tensioned Mylar diaphragm, on which a 0.4-micron layer of evaporated gold is applied. Tight tolerances and special attention to precise machining of the backplate, and acoustical porting, produces an off-axis response that ensures the accuracy of the microphone. Also included is the MK5b omnidirectional capsule.
The Miktek C5's head amplifier has been designed around the AMI T5 transformer and, together with the implementation of high quality components including hand-selected transistors, offers a sweet response reminiscent of the iconic classic mics of the past. The Miktek C5 is perfect for recording acoustic instruments including violin, acoustic guitar, mandolin, dobro, brass, woodwind, and piano. The Miktek C5 produces excellent results on drums as overheads or hi-hat mics.
The Miktek C5 is hand built using components from the US, Europe and Asia, and is tested and packaged in Nashville, Tennessee, USA. Each microphone includes its serialized frequency response graph created during final testing.
