SDC vs LDC Microphone Comparison: Miktek C5 & C7 Microphones on Grand Piano
Sound Pure Pro Audio Expert, Todd Atlas, briefly discusses the more general sonic characteristics of Small Diaphragm and Large Diaphragm Condenser microphones. For this comparison we chose our Miktek C5 SDC and C7 LDC microphones and our incredible sounding Steinway Grand Piano. Being a Small Diaphragm Condenser, the C5 recordings showcase more transient detail, articulation, and an overall tighter sound. With it's larger capsule size, the C7 Large Diaphragm Condenser added more warmth and roundness to the piano (especially in the low-end) and smoothed out some of the transient attack of the strings. While every mic has it's own unique voice and response, these broader characteristics and differences can be found in all Large and Small Diaphragm Condenser microphones. If you're having difficulty hearing the differences feel free to email us at mics[at]soundpure.com for the full length hi-res audio files to compare for yourself. Both the Miktek C5 and C7 mics are available for Sound Pure's free try-before-you-buy demo program. If you'd like to se
