Microtech Gefell

Delivered in a suitcase with mic clips and a stereo rail for a variety of stereo recording options, this matched pair of dark bronze Microtech Gefell M 310 Small-Diaphragm Supercardioid Condenser Microphones with Basic Accessories features two microphones designed for accurate reproduction of solo instruments and vocals in live stage applications and home, project, and commercial recording studios.The unique mic capsule features a 16mm gold-sputtered Mylar diaphragm and is constructed from ceramic rather than metal to ensure consistent performance at a variety of temperatures. The capsule is protected by a triple-layer wire-mesh grille at the front and a dual-layer mesh for the rear-entry ports. The pressure-gradient design and supercardioid polar pattern focus audio capture tightly on the source, helping to reject unwanted off-axis sounds for less bleed from other instruments or sound-reinforcement equipment. Transformerless circuitry yields low noise and contributes to a high dynamic range of 131 dB. This matched pair allows for a wide variety of stereo miking configurations.The 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response features a gentle treble boost to increase clarity and presence. An XLR 3-pin output with gold-plated contacts ensures standardized connectivity and 48 VDC phantom powering provides battery-free operation.Features at a Glance Ideal for stereo miking instruments and ensemblesSmall-diaphragm capsule allows a compact body for easy placement in tight spacesSupercardioid polar pattern delivers focused frontal directivity and enhanced off-axis rejection, making it well suited for spaces that lack acoustic treatmentTransformerless circuitry contributes to low noise and high dynamic range20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response with a smooth treble boost for presenceHigh maximum SPL of 147 dB48 VDC phantom powered no batteries requiredXLR 3-pin output allows easy connection to most mic preamps, audio interfaces, and recording consolesIncludes one 25mm stereo bracket for easy positioning in stereo configurationsIncludes two MH 93.1 mic holdersIncludes a suitcase for safe storage and transportAn Innovative Design Delivers Superb Performance To ensure the highest quality performance, phantom power goes through a DC/DC converter to raise the voltage to 60V; this high polarizing voltage makes for the mic's impressive SPL handling and keeps self-noise to a minimum.In addition, the polarizing voltage is delivered to the capsule via an optical coupler, which decouples the supply, reducing ripple and virtually eliminates any phantom power supply noise and/or spurious interference.The electronics involve some clever optically isolated powering technology, in which a high-intensity LED, driven directly from the phantom supply, illuminates a photocell, which drives a DC/DC converter. This innovative approach neatly isolates the capsule bias and impedance converter power rails from the phantom supply, which helps in achieving the mic's very low noise floor. This effectively performs the task of the transformer without the ringing or bandwidth limitation that is usually associated.By providing pure DC to the capsule, you get both an improved performance and a lower self noise, most notably in the broadband spectrum.RFI protection is high, making susceptibility to radio interference extremely low.
