Its not often that a mob like Josephson come up with a new addition to their microphone arsenal. And this is affordable at the high end of the street. Josephson Series Seven microphones provide expert users with unprecedented flexibility. Our newest microphone, the C705, combines the large single-diaphragm capsule of the C715 but in cardioid only, with the transparent, transformerless circuit of the C716, all in a new hardened-steel housing that allows us to offer a unique value point in studio microphones.
