Microtech Gefell M296 Omni Condenser Microphone





The first condenser microphone since the famed Neumann M-50 to feature an omni-directional pickup pattern and a nickel diaphragm [instead of gold sputtered Mylar® or PVC]. The M-296 is a great tool for everything from Bluegrass to drums to Piano or Orchestral work. Set up 3 of the little guys in an AEA "Decca Tree" and you will discover the faithful capture of all you would like to record.

Gefell M296 features
The M296 is designed for professional applications in radio and television broadcasting, tone studios, concert halls, theaters and for high quality recordings of all genres. The direction of maximum sensitivity is axial, i.e. end wise to the microphone. The stable capsule contains a large diameter metal membrane and is similar to our proven measuring microphone capsules regarding its construction as a pressure transducer. Capsule and impedance transformer are a unit.

The transformerless microphone preamplifier shows a high output capability and has a symmetrical output stage. A 10 dB pre-attenuation and the bass roll-off extend the application range. The two switches are sunk placed in the middle of the microphone.

The microphone is powered by a 3-pin XLR connector. The power supply is provided by P 48 volt phantom powering according to DIN 45596 and IEC 268-15.

Price includes MVK9 Mic Clip.
