These reflections in turn introduce acoustic resonances 
in the microphone response which contribute to 
frequency response and phase anomalies (which can 
lead to harshness and other unpleasant sounds in the 

pickup).  Maintaining acoustical transparency around 
the capsule is important in achieving the sonic clarity 
that is this mic’s signature.  

 

Using the C716 

  

The C716 is a fixed cardioid-only microphone suited 
for most studio pickup applications where a highly 
detailed sound image is desired, with effective 
rejection of unwanted sound off-axis. The dynamic 

range is about 120 dB, sufficient to capture sounds 
from the softest studio background to the loudest 
percussion or amplified instrument.  
 

Pickup is uniform over the entire front side of the 
microphone, with no hot spots or dead zones that are 
sometimes created by large-diaphragm microphones 
having conventional basket grilles. Sensitivity drops 6 
dB at 90 and 270 degrees, and then to a sharp null at 

the rear of the microphone. It’s often effective to point
