Sound Pure Pro Audio Expert, Todd Atlas, briefly discusses the more general sonic characteristics of Small Diaphragm and Large Diaphragm Condenser microphones. For this comparison we chose our Miktek C5 SDC and C7 LDC microphones and our incredible sounding Steinway Grand Piano. Being a Small Diaphragm Condenser, the C5 recordings showcase more transient detail, articulation, and an overall tighter sound. With it's larger capsule size, the C7 Large Diaphragm Condenser added more warmth and roundness to the piano (especially in the low-end) and smoothed out some of the transient attack of the strings. While every mic has it's own unique voice and response, these broader characteristics and differences can be found in all Large and Small Diaphragm Condenser microphones. If you're having difficulty hearing the differences feel free to email us at mics[at]soundpure.com for the full length hi-res audio files to compare for yourself. Both the Miktek C5 and C7 mics are available for Sound Pure's free try-before-you-buy demo program. If you'd like to se

Travis Hall of the Sound Pure Pro Audio Team briefly discusses the more general physical and sonic characteristics of Small Diaphragm and Large Diaphragm Condenser microphones. For this comparison we brought back our Miktek C5 SDC and C7 LDC microphones for comparison on two different acoustic guitars. Being a Small Diaphragm Condenser with a faster, smaller capsule, the C5 showcases incredible transient detail, string articulation, and an overall tighter low-end. With it's larger capsule size, the C7 Large Diaphragm Condenser showcases a little more warmth and roundness (particularly in the low-end) and smoothed out some of the transient detail from the strings. While every mic has it's own unique voice and response, these broader characteristics and differences can be found in all Large and Small Diaphragm Condenser microphones. If you're having difficulty hearing the differences feel free to email us at mics[at]soundpure.com for the full length hi-res audio files to compare for yourself.
