When the Berlin Wall came down in the early 1990's and a little company that was the original Neumann was found the UMT-70s was their first offering to "the West". Featuring an original gold sputtered PVC based capsule known for decades as the "M-7" it combined a transformerless output amplifier with the vintage capsule manufacturing technology to for the best of new and old. The UMT-70s is at home with vocals, guitars, pianos, drums and pretty much anything you can throw at it. Its transformerless amplifier permits unparalleled transient response making it a favorite snare drum mic around our shop and its airy but rich tonal character has made this one of the few utility microphones that is used on just about every session.
gefell umt70s features
With the shift to 24bit/96kHz recording a new microphone was developed that could properly address the demands for lower noise, wider bandwidth and the need for greater sound pressure handling. The Gefell UMT70S is the latest version of this ‘classic’ featuring the same highly acclaimed M 7 large diaphragm with an improved preamplifier section.
The UMT70S features a precision-machined pattern selector switch below the capsule grill that is rotated to select between the omnidirectional, cardioid and figure-8 polar curves. Mid-way down the body stem are controls for the 10dB pre-attenuation pad and the smooth low-frequency roll off (-10dB@90Hz).
