The Miktek C1 FET condenser microphone is an amazing tool for any studio engineer who isn't fortunate enough to have access to a major label budget. With its 1" MK1 capsule that houses a 5-micron Mylar diaphragm and a authentic AMI T7 transformer, the Miktek C1 is able to give you smooth and flattering sound professional microphones have lent to hit records for decades. Its forgiving FET characteristics provide a range of warmth and clarity that you can dial in simply by varying the capsule bias voltage of the Miktek C1 between 48V and 60V.

Great microphones don't happen by accident, which is why Miktek selected only premium components to make the C1 FET condenser. They started with their tried-and-true MK1 1" capsule, whose responsive evaporated-gold-coated 5-micron diaphragm is derived from their acclaimed MK7 capsule design. Add to that an AMI T7 transformer (also found on their amazing C7 microphone) and it's no wonder the C1 is such a smooth-sounding microphone.

Talk about sonic options, for a cardioid microphone, the Miktek C1 is easily among the more versatile mics out there. That has a lot to do with the C1's variable capsule bias voltage, which you can adjust between 48V and 60V. This adjustment can make a huge difference in the tone of the C1, especially when you use it to capture harmonically rich sound sources such as vocals. On top of that, you also get a switchable highpass filter and a switchable -10dB pad, which help ensure that you get the best possible sound, right at the source.

Buying a nice microphone is an investment, even when you're already getting as good of a deal as the Miktek C1. That's why Miktek doesn't feel the need to charge you extra for essential accessories such as a swivel mount or a shock mount. But Miktek takes this the next major step by tossing in a wood presentation case for good measure. Now that's an amazing value!
