{"product_id":"miktek-c1","title":"Miktek C1 Cardioid FET Condenser Microphone","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eMiktek C1\u003c\/strong\u003e large diaphragm FET condenser will impress the most critical listeners and inspire artists to create their best performance. The microphone features a tightly controlled cardioid pick up pattern. In addition, the C1 employs a high-pass filter and –10dB pad for recording loud sound sources. The frequency response is warm on the bottom and silky-sweet on the top, yet at the same time, the midrange is natural and open. The microphone produces amazing results when recording acoustic instruments, guitar amps, or as overheads on a drum kit. But of course, the C1 really excels on vocal ­applications.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe C1 utilizes the new MK capsule developed by Miktek engineers, featuring dual 1-inch diaphragms made using 5-micron Mylar with a 0.4-micron layer of evaporated gold. The diaphragm is precisely tensioned and mounted to a carefully- tuned backplate to create the finished capsule.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe C1’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.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eIn 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. This 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 C1 is extremely accurate and articulate.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe Miktek C1 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Miktek","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44449837842535,"sku":"51522","price":599.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/miktek-c1-1_cedc5a4b-7990-4245-85ec-97ef946f635f.jpg?v=1787090635","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.mom\/products\/miktek-c1","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
