The Perfect Sonic Foundation
The C617 microphone body is designed to complement a Microtech Gefell MK221 microphone capsule (sold separately). This small-diaphragm microphone body is built to last through many years of use within your studio, thanks to its handcraftmanship and detail-oriented construction. Without a microphone capsule, the C617 body is capable of a massive 10Hz-80kHz frequency response with accuracy measured within 1dB. And it’s exceptionally quiet, too. Microphone capsules are available from Josephson Engineering directly. Please contact your Sweetwater Sales Engineer for more details.

The 617 microphone body is rugged and ready for use within your studio. It ensures that your sound is transmitted faithfully through the microphone cable with no added noise. On the front end, you get a FET amplification stage for uncolored sound on any source. Meanwhile, the Class A output stage works to transmit your tone without any signal degradation whatsoever. Though the 617 microphone body is optimized for use with the Microtech Gefell MK221 omnidirectional microphone capsule, it also works with any other compatible condenser mic capsule.
