Josephson C716 Microphone

Description

Why you need theJosephson C716 Microphone:

Series Seven microphones provide unprecedented flexibility in studiopickups with a variety of directional patterns. The C716 dual-diaphragm capsule is optimized for cardioid, and is ideal for vocalpickups and instrumentals where a warm, natural sound is needed withminimum acoustic coloration. Off-axis response is particularly smooth,yielding excellent results in a variety of acoustic environments.

The C716 features a cardioid version of the large dual-diaphragmcapsule used in Josephson’s C700 series, with a 5 micron evaporatedgold diaphragm. The head grille uses Josephson’s patent-pendinghard metal foam structure welded to the housing tube, instead of wiremesh or perforated metal. No other structure is needed, so internalreflections are randomized for clean, detailed sound pickup. The entirehousing, circuit board, capsule and all its internal parts are made byJosephson in the USA. The microphone features a hard matte blackchrome finish for durability in studio use.

The internal circuitry uses a class-A FET front end with active balancedtransformerless output using discrete large-geometry devices like thosein the Josephson C700 and C617. The internal high voltage linearsupply generates capsule polarization voltage without using any digitaldevices or oscillators, for very low noise.

The capsule assembly in the C716 is internally shock mounted so thatthe mic may be attached directly to a stand through its rugged yokemount, without using any external accessories.
