Introduction
The Miktek MK300, multi-pattern, large diaphragm FET condenser will impress the most critical listeners and inspire
artists to create their best performance. The microphone’s polar characteristic is selectable; offering cardioid, omni and
bidirectional pick-up patterns. In addition, the MK300 employs a high-pass filter and –10dB pad for recording loud sound
sources. The frequency response is warm on the bottom and silky-sweet on the top, yet at the same time, the midrange
is natural and open. The microphone produces amazing results when recording acoustic instruments, guitar amps, or
as ovedrheads on a drum kit. But of course, the MK300 really excels on vocal applications. The MK300 utilizes a new
custom capsule developed by Miktek engineers, featuring dual 1-inch diaphragms made using 5-micron Mylar with a 0.4-
micron layer of evaporated gold. Diaphragms are then precisely tensioned, mounted to carefully tuned backplates, and
finally set back-to-back with electronic isolation to create the finished capsule. The MK300’s electronic circuit design is
unique and features the Miktek T-301 transformer together with the implementation of high quality exotic components
including hand-selected transistors. The MK300 is packaged with its swivel mount along with the included shock mount.
