Manufacturer's Description from Josephson

The C706 is a versatile studio microphone using a variant of the large diameter, dual-diaphragm cardioid capsule and the same discrete FET cascode input circuit and active balanced transformerless output circuit of the C716. The capsule, using 5 micron gold-metallized diaphragms and precision machined internal surfaces, provides a smooth and extended high end, detailed midrange and the controlled proximity effect characteristic of dual-diaphragm mics.The C706 is not only great for vocals, it’s also excellent for instrument and ensemble pickup, and works well with a variety of preamps and input stages, due to its low output impedance.

The housing is made of case-hardened steel with a unique offset grille support structure that greatly reduces internal reflections, avoiding the harshness of many large-diaphragm mics. The entire capsule assembly is internally shockmounted, so the microphone can be attached directly to a stand through its yoke mount. The black finish from the hardening process is very rugged for long life in studio and stage applications.

The design of the C706 continues the tradition of Josephson Series Seven microphones, at a lower cost due to using a steel housing with a rugged industrial finish rather than a cosmetic plated finish on brass, and an output connector on the microphone body rather than an attached output cable.

About Manufacturer

Josephson Engineering makes a wide range of fine condenser microphones for studio, stage and field sound pickup, and audio instrumentation. The company began in San Jose, California in 1988 and moved to Santa Cruz in 2000. This is our 20th year of producing microphones. In the process of developing our own mics, we've come up with special technologies that let us realize designs that weren't possible in classic mics of years past. This means that the expert user has a wider range of sound choices, without many of the compromises of older designs. Besides our own production, we also supply microphone capsules to several other mic manufacturers that become the mics for their most demanding customers. All of our business is individual -- we use select local dealers who bring our product directly to critical users around the world. We have a standard product line that covers many applications, but if there's a microphone you need that we don't make, we'll either tell you about the best one we know of for that job, or make it for you ourselves. We won't tell you that one of our mics is good for everything -- there's no such thing. Josephson also provides electro-acoustical engineering, design and manufacturing services for challenging requirements in many industries, specializing in microphone transducers and supporting systems. Our OEM capabilities have allowed several companies to excel in their own markets, using capsules made by Josephson.
