Unlike Any Other Mic
Making its debut in 2004, the Josephson Engineering C700A stands out as a truly unique microphone unlike any other that came before it. A variable pattern condenser microphone, the C700A boasts two sensational, time-aligned microphone capsules: namely, a 16mm omnidirectional microphone capsule mounted above a 26mm figure-8 capsule. Together, these capsules deliver a clear, high-definition sound that will flatter any source. The C700A offers individual outputs for each microphone capsule, which can be blended to taste within your DAW. In total, the microphone is capable of five polar patterns: omnidirectional, subcardioid, cardioid, supercardioid, and figure-8. Recording engineers who aren’t afraid to get inventive will quickly fall in love with the Josephson Engineering C700A variable pattern condenser microphone.

Two time-aligned condenser capsules
The C700A’s dual-diaphragm design opens up the door for serious sonic exploration. First, you get a 26mm figure-8 condenser capsule, which absolutely excels on vocals. Users report that it serves up vivid sound with equal portions of focus, clarity, and intimacy. A 16mm omnidirectional microphone is mounted directly above the other capsule. It gives you the freedom to zoom out from your source and take in more room ambience. The capsule array is internally shockmounted to ensure clean, clear sound free of unwanted noise.
Craft the appropriate sound for every situation
Engineers around Sweetwater are raving about the C700A. It effortlessly captures “the sound” on sources as diverse as piano, vocals, brass, and guitar. So, how does it manage such a feat? By offering separate outputs for both capsules via the 5-pin XLR cable. This allows you to route the omnidirectional and figure-8 outputs to separate channels within your DAW. Different polar patterns are achieved by panning and mixing the capsules together. What’s more, the individual outputs give you the freedom to process each signal to taste, so they slot effortlessly into any mix.
