Josephson C42 Cardioid Microphone

The C42 is our general purpose cardioid microphone, useful for most studio and stage pickup applications where a neutral pickup is best, at an affordable price

Josephson Series Four microphones are a dependable choice for use in the studio and on stage. The C42 cardioid is the closest thing to an all-around microphone. Applications include acoustic and amplified instruments, ensemble and choir pickups, concert recording, sound effects and vocals. The standard finish is satin machined stainless steel for years of rugged use. Series Four electronics feature a selected discrete FET driving a fully balanced symmetrical transformerless discrete class-A output stage. The output impedance is low enough that very long cable runs may be used without signal degradation. Although the microphone is specified for full P48 phantom power, it will function with phantom power as low as 24 volts, with some limitation in maximum SPL. A stereo kit, the C42MP, includes a matched pair of C42 microphones in matte black chrome finish and a protective case.
