The Miktek C5MP Microphones are small diaphragm cardioid pencil condensers designed to provide discerning engineers with a valuable new tool for the critical recording of acoustic instruments. Available in a matched pair, the C5MP's are ideal for your stereo recording applications.
The Miktek C5MP Microphones are fitted with the MK5a, 0.5-inch cardioid capsule, produces a super-linear, full-bodied response. The capsule employs a 5-micron tensioned Mylar diaphragm, on which a 0.4-micron layer of evaporated gold is applied. Tight tolerances and special attention to precise machining of the backplate, and acoustical porting, produces an off-axis response that ensures the accuracy of the microphone. Also included is the MK5b omnidirectional capsule.
The Miktek C5MP's head amplifier has been designed around the AMI T5 transformer and, together with the implementation of high quality components including hand-selected transistors, offers a sweet response reminiscent of the iconic classic mics of the past. The Miktek C5MP is perfect for recording acoustic instruments including violin, acoustic guitar, mandolin, dobro, brass, woodwind, and piano. The Miktek C5MP produces excellent results on drums as overheads or hi-hat mics.
The Miktek C5MP is hand built using components from the US, Europe and Asia, and is tested and packaged in Nashville, Tennessee, USA. Each microphone includes its serialized frequency response graph created during final testing.

C5's
Feb 23rd 2016The C5 matched pair sounds wonderful! These mics are a big step up in clarity, smoothness, and overall quality of sound from the small diaphragms' I've used. I will be capturing many sources in the years to come with these babies. Props to the nice folks here at Front End for personable and exceptional service!

Worthy addition to any mic cabinet
Jul 26th 2011First, let me explain that my four star rating means very little. At less than half the price of any mic I would consider giving a five star rating, these Mikteks would have to be given a six for value. They would make a great choice for someone wanting an articulate, natural sounding and well made mic without spending thousands. They also would make a wonderful alternative for someone who already owns some very high end microphones. The Mikteks may perhaps even embarrass a few of them. They are that good.
