Josephson C725 Variable pattern vacuum tube hybrid microphone - B-Stock (Ex-Demo)

The Josephson C725 is a variable pattern hybrid tube microphone perfect for vocals and voice overs. This microphone features a very high Max SPL of 165 and it's 20 Hz to 20 kHz means this microphone will give you a crystal clear and accurate representation of the audio you want to capture.

This is an ex-demo unit. It comes with a full manufacturer warranty and original packaging.

The head grille uses Josephson’s patented aluminium foam, fused to the housing for physical and electrical protection, with only an ultra-fine highly open mesh for contamination protection. No other structure is needed, so internal reflections are random and minimal, allowing clean, detailed sound pickup. The capsule assembly is internally shock-mounted so the microphone can be attached directly to a stand through its yoke mount. The C725 features a satin nickel finish for durability in studio use.

The internal circuitry is related to other Josephson mics, with a cascode topology for best linearity. Instead of using two FETs to form the cascode, in the C725 the voltage gain section uses a low-noise FET, while the current gain stage uses a readily available current production pentode vacuum tube. This provides the low noise of the FET along with the dynamic characteristics of the vacuum tube. The output is provided through a custom nickel-core transformer, which has independent windings for output and gain control.
