The C706 is a versatile studio microphone using a variant of the large diameter,
dual-diaphragm cardioid capsule and the same discrete FET cascode input
circuit and active balanced transformerless output circuit of the C716. The
capsule, using 5 micron gold-metallized diaphragms and precision machined
internal surfaces, provides a smooth and extended high end, detailed midrange
and the controlled proximity effect characteristic of dual-diaphragm mics.
The C706 is not only great for vocals, it’s also excellent for instrument and
ensemble pickup, 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, avoiding the harshness of
many large-diaphragm mics. 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 C706 continues the tradition of Josephson Series Seven
microphones, at a lower cost due to using 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.
