The capsule is the K47, found in the best-selling Mini K47. The \"x\" refers to the transformer-coupled circuit, which gives the mic its trademark harmonic saturation.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eEvery Roswell microphone is subjected to a 24-hr \"burn in\" on a proprietary conditioning fixture, then tested extensively prior to shipping: polarity, noise, frequency response, sensitivity, and more. Roswell perform an acoustic sweep test and listen to every microphone multiple times before it leaves their facility.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_1\"\u003eDESIGN AND COMPONENT DETAILS\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe Mini K47x capsule is a 34mm (large diaphragm) K47 design. It provides the familiar and expected rise in its frequency response in the 4-6kHz range, with a neutral top end.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe circuit design borrows from the flagship Colares microphone; it is a single-stage JFET\/transformer topology, built around a selected vintage European-made output capacitor, the best-sounding modern filter capacitors on the market, and Roswell's oversized T7 transformer with high nickel lamination.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe capacitor feeding the JFET is a critical component to the mic's sound. We've designed a custom bipolar electrolytic, with a special formulation of electrolyte that was initially developed for the legendary Black Gate line of capacitors.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eInternal gain staging is carefully set for each individual mic to produce harmonic saturation at moderate SPL. This allows the Mini K47x to evoke the sound of vintage tube microphones, creating harmonics to complement the source, although without adding noise or crushing transients the way some tube mics would.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the circuit topology in the K47x is shared with the K67x, these circuits differ in implementation, because we treat each product as a complete system. Here are the main circuit differences from the K67x:\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eThe K47x uses a more colored type of resistor, while the K67x resistors were chosen for transparency\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eAll the filter capacitors are different formulations.
