he Miktek CV4 is a large-diaphragm tube condenser

microphone oﬀering nine pick-up patterns. e CV4’s

sound is truly large and produces a musical response that will

please artists, producers and most seasoned engineers alike.

e bottom end is big, warm and tight, with mids that are pres-

ent and even, along with a high frequency response that’s sweet

and airy. e CV4 is ideal for recording single vocalists, and

perfect for acoustic instruments, groups of vocals, piano, string

ensembles, winds, overheads on a drum kit or as ambient room

mics.

e CV4 utilizes the MK9 capsule developed by Miktek.

is unique capsule features dual 1-inch diaphragms manu-

factured using 5-micron Mylar with a 0.4-micron layer of

evaporated gold, which is precisely tensioned, mounted to

carefully-tuned backplates, and set back-to-back to create the

ﬁnal capsule. Tight tolerances and special attention to precise

machining of the backplate produce a linear oﬀ-axis response

that ensures the accuracy of the microphone.

e heart and soul of the CV4’s head ampliﬁer is the AMI

BT4 transformer, which oﬀers a classic sound and an extended

low frequency response found in the earliest versions of the

most famous vintage tube microphones. Together with an

original NOS (new-old-stock) Telefunken EF800 tube, in which

the high-voltage circuit has been uniquely implemented, the

microphone challenges the performance of the best-in-class

industry standards without hesitation.

e Miktek CV4 is hand-built using compo-

nents from the US, Europe and Asia, and

is tested and packaged in Nashville,

Tennessee, USA. Each micro-

phone includes its serialized fre-

quency response graph created

during ﬁnal testing.

e CV4 is packaged with its

swivel mount in a wooden box, which

is set inside an aluminum case with the

included power supply unit, 7-pin XLR cable and

shock-mount.
