The Josephson C700 microphones include omni/pressure and figure-8/gradient capsules, each with a discrete output

The signals can be recorded on separate tracks, so the pattern can be selected in mixdown. Pattern control is only one advantage of this technique. Applying different equalization or dynamic control to the capsule signals makes entirely different mic characteristics - for instance the warmth of a gradient mic used close up for vocals might be combined with the transparency of a pressure mic in the highs, by rolling off the high frequencies in the gradient signal and the lows in the pressure signal before they are combined.

The C700S microphone has three capsules; an additional side-facing figure-8 capsule is added to the two in the C700A. Any coincident stereo pickup can be derived from mixing these three signals together, and like the C700A, the signals can be recorded individually and all aspects of image width and pattern control may be adjusted in the mixdown. With the three capsule signals, any number of microphone outputs may be created, each one pointed anywhere in the plane around the microphone. The capsule assembly in the Series Seven is internally shock mounted, so that the mic may be attached directly to a stand through its yoke mount without any external accessories.

Josephson C700S

I was looking for a 360 degree mic. The two alternatives I had settled on were the Sennheiser Ambeo VR and one of the Soundfield mics. After speaking (at length) w my rep at Studio Economik, and doing extensive diligence (including two conversations with Josephson Engineering) I bought the C700S. Lire plus

I can't begin to describe how great this mic is. I have a pretty decent mic locker, including a couple Soundelux tube mics (251 and e47) as well as Schoeps and DPA pencil mics, Brauner, AEA, BLUE and others. The C700S is as good as any, but with a different flavor.

However, if you are looking at the C700S, its because of its multi-mic capability. The C700S comprises an omni and two figure 8s. When you record w the C700S, you track three channels. In post, you can than mix-match-combine those channels to give you any surround configuration you desire. If you are into Ambisonics, its output is true B-format, lacking the vertical or Z-channel, which is optional in any case. Unbelievable. I use Harpex to mix my Ambisonic sources, but with the three B-channel feeds from the C700S, you could manually do it in a DAW by duplicating and flipping the phase of the X (front-to- back) and Y (left-to-right) channels. And then blending the 5 channels to get the result you are looking for.

The C700S manual provides a lot of mixing scenarios, and you can always call Josephson with any questions. I can't emphasize this enough. In my experience, someone knowledgeable is ALWAYS available to answer my questions about how to use this mic. I have spoken w David Josephson a number of times. He/They totally stand by their products. Amongst the best companies I have ever worked with.

I have been focusing on live performance recording, specifically choral and orchestral work. After speaking w David Josephson, I have settled on a pair of DPA 4006 omnis on an overhead boom, and the C700S placed in front of the conductor at about 2 meters up to fill in the middle. In post, I configure the three outputs as M-S and blend with the overheads. Delivers an excellent L-R soundstage, with the DPAs providing breadth and the room ambience. Just excellent.

I also subsequently bought the Sennheiser for use in remote, outdoor locations. But for quality Ambisonic and surround recordings, the C700S is as good as it gets.
