Microtech Gefell MD 300 Dynamic Microphone with MH 80 Swivel Mic Holder (Matte Black)

Microtech Gefell MD300 Overview

The MD 300 Dynamic Microphone with MH 80 Swivel Mic Holder from Microtech Gefell is a cardioid microphone optimized for intelligibility with accurate high frequencies and well-balanced, low-frequency transmission. It can be used as a close-talking microphone for announcers and broadcasters as well as for high-quality recordings of vocalists and instrumental soloists during live performances.

• The housing is equipped with an integrated internal thread, which allows for shockmounts or microphone mounts. The capsule is mounted elastically in the housing to attenuate solid-borne sounds and impulses.
• The sound transducer in the MD 300 runs according to the moving-coil principle. The microphone is connected by a standard 3-pin XLR-male plug and requires no power for operation. Because of the balanced low-impedance output, the MD 300 can be used for longer cable runs with negligible distortion.
• The frequency response has been optimized for short recording distances with a boost of approximately 2 dB between 2 and 8 kHz for high-frequency presence on speech and vocals. The change of the low-end frequency response caused by the proximity effect is well balanced, without a very strong overemphasis when the mic is placed close to the sound source.

Note:

This microphone is part of the Virtual Mic Locker, an online tool to help our valued customers determine the sonic differences between popular microphones for podcasting and voice over work. Each microphone was recorded using a Grace Design M103 preamp into a Presonus Quantum 2626 interface.
