Microtech Gefell M 900 Cardioid Studio Condenser Microphone (Matte Black)

The matte black Microtech Gefell M 900 stands as a versatile cardioid condenser microphone, meticulously engineered to excel across a broad spectrum of stage and studio applications. With its focus on delivering pristine audio fidelity, this microphone proves itself indispensable for close-miking solo vocalists and instrumentalists, ensuring that every performance is captured with utmost clarity and transparency. Crafted with precision, the M 900 boasts a well-balanced frequency response spanning from 40 Hz to 18 kHz, with a subtle enhancement in the 7 to 12 kHz range to imbue recordings with an added touch of presence. Its 1" diaphragm, suspended within an inverted basket design, effectively isolates the microphone from handling noise, while a three-layer mesh grille shields the capsule from plosives and vocal pops, ensuring consistently clean recordings. Beyond its exceptional sonic performance, the M 900 also boasts a strikingly unique appearance, making it a standout choice for handheld vocal performances. The transformerless impedance transducer, coupled with a balanced output stage, guarantees a high output capability and minimal intrinsic noise, allowing your recordings to shine with unparalleled clarity. For optimal results, the recommended mic placement is between 8 to 12 inches from the source, striking a balance between capturing richness and minimizing proximity effect. However, should you desire a more pronounced bottom end, closer placement can be advantageous in certain scenarios. Additionally, onboard features such as the high-pass filter, which reduces unwanted low frequencies below 90 Hz, and the -10 dB pad, ideal for miking louder sources like guitar amps, offer further flexibility in tailoring your sound. With its cardioid pickup pattern effectively isolating the microphone from other sound sources, including on-stage monitors, the M 900 minimizes feedback issues during live performances, ensuring a seamless and immersive audio experience for both performers and audiences alike.
