Details
I/O: 3-pin XLR balanced analog output (connector on mic body, no attached cable)
Notable use: Vocal pickup without sibilance via distance/angle control; detailed instrument pickup without large-diaphragm harshness; lower-cost Series Seven model using steel housing and cardioid-only capsule to reduce cost vs. C715/C716
Notes: LDC (large-diaphragm condenser), single diaphragm. Began shipping ~June 2020 after a NAMM debut earlier that year (secondary sourcing, flagged). 5.5 mA current draw. Task brief's requested 'e705' model name does not exist in Josephson's current or historical catalog; closest actual current product is C705 — included under its real model number rather than guessed.
