The transducer is made by hand in the USA by Josephson Audio, and a hand-wound nickel core Manley Iron transformer sits at the output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eC-37A voicing with modern manufacture\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sony C-37A is responsible for the sound of a great many recordings from the fifties and sixties, but finding a working example today is a matter of luck and budget. The Reference Silver reproduces its concept: a single sided one inch diaphragm, edge tensioned, with a five micron evaporated gold layer on its surface. The result is a top end that does not sting up close and a midrange with character that modern flat response designs struggle to reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTwo patterns switched mechanically\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA selector at the rear of the body changes the pattern between cardioid and omnidirectional mechanically rather than by summing signals. The valve head amplifier runs a 5670 fed from a constant current source, which holds the operating point regardless of signal level. The microphone responds to 30 kHz and the amplifier itself to 60 kHz. A maximum of 150 dB SPL at the capsule allows placement on loud sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge diaphragm valve condenser microphone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTransducer modelled on the classic Sony C-37A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCapsule hand made in the USA by Josephson Audio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle sided one inch diaphragm, edge tensioned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFive micron evaporated gold layer on the diaphragm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCardioid and omnidirectional patterns, mechanically switched\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eValve head amplifier on a 5670 with a constant current source\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-wound Manley Iron output transformer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNickel core in the output transformer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExternal switch-mode supply, 90 to 250 V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand assembled in California\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: valve condenser, large diaphragm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolar patterns: cardioid and omnidirectional\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency response: 10 Hz to 30 kHz, amplifier to 60 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSensitivity: 7 mV\/Pa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum SPL: 150 dB at the capsule\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelf noise: typically -108 dBV, A-weighted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eValve: 5670 in the head amplifier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower supply: 90 to 250 V, switch-mode\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicrophone dimensions: 2 inch diameter, 9.7 inches long\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicrophone weight: 1.5 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower supply weight: 2.35 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Manley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58444355174732,"sku":"28286","price":4465.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0769\/9854\/1644\/files\/ManleyReferenceSilverMicrophone.jpg?v=1786977926","url":"https:\/\/noiseroom.lt\/lt\/products\/manley-reference-silver-microphone","provider":"Noise Room","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
