he Miktek C1 large diaphragm FET condenser will impress the

most critical listeners and inspire artists to create their best perfor-

mance. e 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.

e frequency response is warm on the bottom and silky-sweet on

the top, yet at the same time, the midrange is natural and open. e

microphone produces amazing results when recording acoustic instru-

ments, guitar amps, or as overheads on a drum kit. But of course, the

C1 really excels on vocal applications.

e C1 utilizes the new MK capsule developed by Miktek engi-

neers, featuring dual 1-inch diaphragms made using 5-micron Mylar

with a 0.4-micron layer of evaporated gold. e diaphragm is precisely

tensioned and mounted to a carefully- tuned backplate to create the

ﬁnished capsule.

e C1’s head ampliﬁer has been designed around the AMI T7 trans-

former and, together with the implementation of high-quality com-

ponents including hand-selected transistors, oﬀers a sweet response

reminiscent of highly desirable vintage microphones.

In 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. is 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.

e 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.

e C1 is packaged with its swivel mount, in a wooden box, and set

inside a rugged aluminum case along with the included shock mount.
