<h1>Josephson Engineering C700S Multi-Pattern Stereo Condenser Microphone</h1>
<span style="font-size: 16px; font-style: italic;">The Josephson Engineering C700S C700S allows any number of patterns to be derived for any single-point stereo or surround pickup.<br /></span><br />The Josephson Engineering's Series Seven microphones provide unprecedented flexibility, as the directional <br />pattern of the mic can be adjusted in use, during or after recording. C700 microphones include omni/pressure and fi<br />gure-8/gradient capsules, each with a discrete output. The signals can be recorded on separate tracks, so the pattern can <br />be selected in mixdown. Pattern control is only one advantage of this technique. Applying different equalization or dynamic control to the capsule signals makes entirely different mic characteristics – for instance the warmth of a gradient mic used close up for vocals might be combined with the transparency of a pressure mic in the highs, by rolling off the high frequencies in the gradient signal and the lows in the pressure signal before they are combined. <br /><br />The C700S microphone has three capsules; an additional side-facing 
figure-8 capsule is added to the two in the C700A. Any coincident stereo
 pickup can be derived from mixing these three signals together, and 
like the C700A, the signals can be recorded individually and all aspects
 of image width and pattern control may be adjusted in the mixdown. With
 the three capsule signals, any number of microphone outputs may be 
created, each one pointed anywhere in the plane around the microphone. 
The capsule assembly in the Series Seven is internally shock mounted, so
 that the mic may be attached directly to a stand through its yoke mount
 without any external accessories.  <br /><br />The C700A includes two capsules in one housing, a 16mm omni element similar to the KA11 capsule in the Series Six, and a 26mm figure-8 capsule. Completely neutral electronics, using the same cascode FET input, class-A active balanced output circuit found in the Series Six, are provided for each signal. Any directional pattern from omni to figure-8 may be selected by controlling the ratio of pressure to gradient signals. <br /><br /><br />
