<h2>Miktek C5MP Small Diaphragm Cardioid Pencil Condensor Matched Pair</h2><span style="font-style: italic;">A Matched pair of small diaphragm cardioid pencil condenser mic that also includes a free omni capsules</span><br /><br />The Miktek C5 pencil condenser features Miktek's MK5a, 0.5-inch cardioid capsule, which produces a super-linear, full-bodied response. The capsule employs a 5-micron tensioned Mylar diaphragm, on which a 0.4-micron layer of evaporated gold is applied. Tight tolerances and special attention to precise machining of the backplate, and acoustical porting, produces an off-axis response that ensures the accuracy of the microphone. Also included is the MK5b omnidirectional capsule. <br /><br />The C5’s head amplifier has been designed around the AMI T5 transformer and, together with the implementation of high quality components including hand-selected transistors, offers a sweet response reminiscent of the iconic classic mics of the past. The Miktek C5 is perfect for recording acoustic instruments including violin, acoustic guitar, mandolin, dobro, brass, woodwind, and piano. The C5 produces excellent results on drums as overheads or hi-hat mics. <br /><br />The Miktek C5 is hand built using components from the US, Europe and Asia, and is tested and packaged in Nashville, Tennessee, USA. Each microphone includes its serialized frequency response graph created during final testing. <br /><br />The C5 is available as a single instrument packaged with a mic clip and wooden presentation box, or as a matched pair packaged with two clips in a wooden box and set inside an aluminum case. Matched-pair accessories include two shock mounts, windscreens and a stereo bar. <br /><br /><h3>Miktek C5M Key Features:</h3><ul style="letter-spacing: normal;"><li>MK5a 0.5-inch Cardioid Capsule with 5-micron Mylar, Evaporated Gold Diaphragm</li><li>MK5b Omni Capsule Included</li><li>AMI T5 Transformer</li><li>Hand-selected Transistors</li><li>Individual serialized Frequency Response Graph</li><li>Packaged in a wood Presentation Case with Mic Clip</li></ul>
