Microtech Gefell MT 71 S Large-Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Microphone (Satin Nickel)
Presented in a distinguished wooden case, the satin nickel Microtech Gefell MT 71 S emerges as a pinnacle of studio condenser microphone design, crafted to deliver a pristine, unadulterated sound ideal for vocals and instruments within the realms of recording studios, radio stations, and TV broadcasting. Driven by transformerless circuitry, this microphone boasts a suite of advantages including exceptional transient response, high rejection of radio frequency interference (RFI), an expansive dynamic range, and minimal self-noise, ensuring that every nuance is captured with unparalleled clarity. At its core lies a dual-capacitor design, featuring two gold-plated PVC diaphragms and a single brass back plate, culminating in a cardioid polar pattern. This configuration not only imparts a smooth treble boost around 7 kHz but also effectively attenuates background noise behind the microphone. Equipped with a -10 dB pad, the MT 71 S enables distortion-free capture of loud sources such as drums, percussion, and speaker cabinets, while a switchable bass cut reduces proximity effect by applying a 10 dB reduction at 90 Hz. Operating on 48V phantom power and featuring a gold-plated XLR 3-pin output connector, this microphone ensures seamless integration into your recording setup. Compatible with a range of optional mic holders and suspensions, the MT 71 S stands as a versatile tool for capturing audio with uncompromising fidelity.
