Lucas CS4 Mic
Ser# 105
Multi-Pattern Tube Condenser Microphone
The CS-4 is a multipattern tube condenser designed by Oliver Archut and Terry Manning as a contemporary reinterpretation of the “sonically colored” family of microphones descended from the Neumann U-47. The mic is emphatically not presented as a U-47 clone, soundalike, or replacement, but rather as a high-end tube mic that the original Neumann engineers might build today.
Thiersch STW 7 (M7) capsuleThe capsule is a PVC-membrane M7, designed and manufactured to match the original Neumann blueprints by former Neumann capsule technician Sigfried Thiersch. Although Thiersch supplies both PVC and Mylar-skinned M7s to numerous manufacturers, the CS-4 capsules are unique in two respects:
The diaphragms are treated with a moisture repellent to improve performance when close-miking vocals.
The PVC diaphragm material is aged to meet the NWDR (Nordwestdeutscher Rundfunk) specifications for the Neumann M 49, to ensure the most consistent front-to-back response.
