Microtech Gefell M 940 Large-Diaphragm Supercardioid Condenser Microphone (Matched Pair, Satin Nickel, KS25 Stereo Rail)

Microtech Gefell M940 Overview

The matched pair of satin nickel Microtech Gefell M 940 microphones includes two large-diaphragm supercardioid condenser microphones designed for accurate, pleasing reproduction of vocals and instruments for live stage applications and home, project, and commercial recording studios. Additionally, two mic holders and a KS25 stereo rail are supplied for easy positioning in stereo configurations.

The condenser microphone capsule delivers a smooth frequency response from 40 Hz to 20 kHz with a slight elevation from 7 to 11 kHz for additional presence. Its supercardioid polar pattern focuses audio capture narrowly in front of the microphone, picking up less bleed from other instruments and on-stage monitors and helping to substantially reduce feedback when sound reinforcement equipment is used. The transformerless circuit design provides for very-low self-noise for clean, distortion-free sound over a wide dynamic range. To reduce sensitivity to mechanical impact and structure borne noise, the microphone capsule and electronics are elastically suspended inside the compact metal housing.

The M 940 s high sensitivity, standard 3-pin XLR output connector, and 48V phantom powering method ensure reliable performance with a variety of mic preamps. This mic set also includes a suitcase for safe storage and transport.
