The C617 is an audiophile omni, with the purest sound possible, with a near perfect omni-directional pattern.
Series Seven microphones from Josephson independently sample the pressure and pressure gradient components of sound, providing separate outputs so that the mixer can choose the directional pattern by combining different ratios of these two signals.
The C700S microphone has three capsules one 16mm pressure element, mounted between two 26mm gradient elements which are at right angles to each other.
Series Seven microphones provide unprecedented flexibility in studio pickups with a variety of directional patterns. The C715 uses a unique single large diaphragm capsule with an adjustable vent allowing cardioid or omni operation, and includes a new, patent-pending metal foam housing for minimum acoustic coloration due to the elimination of many internal reflecting surfaces.
The C716 dual-diaphragm capsule is optimized for cardioid, and is ideal for vocal pickups and instrumentals where a warm, natural sound is needed with minimum acoustic coloration.
