This is one of the finest microphones on the market, regardless of price range! Designed, developed, and built in Nashville, Tennessee, by studio professionals. The CV4 features essential sonic components, including a genuine AMI BT4 transformer, an original Telefunken EF800 NOS (new old stock) tube, a gold-plated diaphragm, and a range of crucial elements that together make this one of the most outstanding microphones available.
Quote from a review in an American music magazine:
"I just listened to this mic destroy a $5,000 hand-made microphone... I'm blown away."
"We just compared the new Miktek line with several 'studio standard' mics. The verdict is unanimous. Miktek owns this price point. I have never heard something this good at such an affordable price. Buy one (or more). You will be amazed. It's that simple."
"We recently did a shootout with this mic against others costing almost five times as much. This one came out ahead and blew me away. It has a smooth top end and a full bottom end—but the mids are the most difficult thing to get right in a microphone, and this one nails it. Completely amazing, especially at this price. Looking for a new tube mic? You just found it!"
