You’ve done, done it…    You’ve purchased a truly exceptional piece of audio gear! Congratulations and thank you for 
purchasing the CV3 Large DiaphramTube Condenser from Miktek  We know there are a lot of pretty good low cost 
microphones available today, but you’re in an elite group of audio engineers where pretty good is just not good enough  
Simply put, that’s why we make our products  

In the following sections of this manual you will find a description of the CV3’s features, step-by-step set-up and 
operating instructions along with detailed specifications  In addition, we’ve also included some basic miking techniques 
for typical recording and live sound applications  Most of us who’ve purchased the CV3 are already experienced 
engineers, so these may seem quite basic  However at Miktek, we want to encourage young or new engineers to use 
our microphones, or at least to read our manuals and learn something about recording and live sound  We know you’re 
serious about your productions because you purchased such an outstanding audio instrument, and at Miktek, we’re 
serious about providing superior products and service to our customers  We appreciate your patronage and hope you 
enjoy using your microphones as much as we enjoy making them 

Sincerely,

Michael Ketchell - Managing Director
