Sweetwater Advice

Chris McCown
We recently had a shootout with the C5 vs. several other well known (and much more expensive) small-diaphragm pencil condensers on an acoustic guitar. The Miktek C5 won hands down. It's got a warm full sound that isn't typical with pencil condensers. Shimmery high end, excellent bottom end, and very smooth midrange.

The Miktek C5 is BY FAR my favorite mic for acoustic guitar in the studio.

One Word: Wow !

Put this mic through a Grace m101 pre, and on the 12th fret @ about 12" out of a 1955 Martin D-28. That old guitar never sounded so good. The C-5 captures what my ear hears, only better. Amazing mic.

Favorite vocal mic, as well

I use it on acoustic guitar, but it's great on vocals, better than any I've tried (nearly all Rodes, USA CADs, ADK). I even like it better for vocals than the Miktek C7 as it's truer, more transparent. Now I have to sell a bunch of mics, since this is the main one I use now.

My New Go to SDC!

Got to use my new Miktek C5. WOW! The guitar sounded like the guitar and the banjo sounded like the banjo! I have many small diaphragm condenser but this one is now my go to. I had the pleasure of meeting Mike from Miktek last December. It was great to meet someone so passionate about their products! After hearing this mic I plan on purchasing more Miktek products.

Our Customers Say...

“My Sales Engineer is the best. If I need it tomorrow, I have it tomorrow. He makes sure everything is in order and that I'm set up right. I've spent a lot of money at other places, too, but I don't remember them calling me to make sure everything's okay.”
