Microtech Gefell M 910 Hypercardioid Studio Condenser Microphone (Nextel Black)

Microtech Gefell M910 Overview

The matte black Microtech Gefell M 910 is a hypercardioid condenser microphone intended for a wide range of stage and studio applications. Well suited for close-miking solo vocalists and instrumentalists and carefully engineered to deliver clean, natural, and transparent recordings, the mic provides a well-balanced frequency response across a wide 40 Hz to 18 kHz range with a gentle boost in the 7 to 12 kHz band for additional presence. The 1" diaphragm is suspended in an inverted basket that isolates the mic from handling noise and features a three-layer mesh grille that shields the capsule from plosives and vocals pops. The unusual design is comfortable for handheld vocal performances while giving the M 910 a remarkably distinctive appearance. The transformerless impedance transducer uses a balanced output stage that guarantees a high-output capability and low intrinsic noise.

Recommended mic placement is at least 8 to 12 inches from your source, any closer and you ll get a noticeable increase in low frequencies due to the proximity effect of course this can be desirable in some instances, if you re looking for a more pronounced bottom end. A high-pass filter is also on board to reduce unwanted low frequencies below 90 Hz, while a -10 dB pad can be engaged if you re miking up louder sources such as guitar amps. The hypercardioid polar pattern focuses audio capture tightly on the sound source directly in front of the capsule, helping to isolate the mic from other sound sources, including on-stage monitors, greatly reducing feedback issues during live performances.
