The C705 is a versatile studio microphone using a large diameter, center-
supported single diaphragm cardioid capsule derived from our C715, and
the discrete FET cascode input circuit and symmetrical balanced
transformerless output circuit of the C716. The capsule, using a 5 micron
gold-metallized diaphragm and precision machined internal surfaces,
provides a smooth and very extended high end, and the enhanced
proximity effect characteristic of single-diaphragm mics. This combination
provides a new range of control for vocal pickup without sibilance, with a
variety of tone colors possible by careful selection of distance and angle to
the microphone. It’s also excellent for detailed instrument pickup without
the harshness typical of many large-diaphragm mics, and works well with
a variety of preamps and input stages, due to its low output impedance.
The housing is made of case-hardened steel with a unique offset grille
support structure that greatly reduces internal reflections. The entire
capsule assembly is internally shockmounted, so the microphone can be
attached directly to a stand through its yoke mount. The black finish from
the hardening process is very rugged for long life in studio and stage
applications.
The design of the C705 includes the best parts of several Josephson
microphones, at a lower cost due to using a cardioid-only capsule, a steel
housing with a rugged industrial finish rather than a cosmetic plated finish
on brass, and an output connector on the microphone body rather than
an attached output cable.
