MIKTEK PUTS ITS BEST CV ON THE DESK

CV3 Miktek

Miktek is a small company in Nashville Tennesee that sources high quality components from the US, Europe and Asia before hand-assembling its microphones in Miktek’s own factory. The latest microphone to come from this process is the Miktek CV3, a large-diaphragm tube condenser microphone offering no less than nine pick-up patterns. The CV3 utilises the MK9 capsule –developed by Miktek – which features dual 1-inch Mylar diaphragms set back-to-back. The CV3’s head amplifier employs exotic discrete components and the output stage uses a custom AMI transformer. Also squeezed in somewhere is a hand-selected sub-miniature pentode vacuum tube, in which the high-voltage circuit has been implemented. The final result promises a classic sound and an extended low frequency response similar to early versions of famous vintage tube microphones. Each microphone includes its serialised frequency response graph created during testing. The CV3 is packaged with its swivel mount in a wooden box, which is set inside an aluminium case with the included power supply unit, 7-pin XLR cable and shock mount. It’s worth taking a look at Miktek’s entire range of microphones and the MPA-201 preamplifier at www.miktekaudio.com We should see stocks of the CV3 in Oz by September and indicators are a RRP of $1199.
