Versatile Directional Patterns
The Josephson C725 microphone features five switchable directional patterns, allowing users to optimize the signal path and adjust sensitivity for diverse recording needs, enhancing studio flexibility and performance.
KEY FEATURES
The Josephson C725 is a hybrid large-diaphragm condenser microphone using a vacuum tube, solid state circuitries, and the dual-diaphragm capsule originally used in the C700 and C716 microphones.
The Josephson C725 offers five switchable directional patterns controlled by a unique selector to optimise the signal path and change sensitivity.
The head grille uses Josephson’s patented aluminium foam, which offers physical and electrical protection. The ultra-fine, highly open mesh offers protection from external contamination. This design provides minimal and randomised internal reflections, ensuring a clean and detailed pickup.
The internal circuit uses a cascade topology with a low-noise FET for the voltage gain section and a pentode vacuum tube for the current gain stage. This combination provides the benefits of low noise of the FET and the dynamic characteristics of a vacuum tube. This is followed by a custom nickel-core transformer with independent windings for output and gain control.
The C725 is powered by a PS725 power supply which can be used on 100V and 240V operations and gives control of the five direction patterns. The selector signal/dynamics characteristics offer a choice between the warmth of vacuum tube microphones and a reduced sensitivity with a more neutral tone and higher headroom.
The C725 has a 3m long large Tuchel 12-contact connector that can be extended up to 50 meters. It ships in a rugged, Pelican-fitted carrying case with a dedicated power supply, line cord and protection sleeve.
