Gefell M950 Wide Cardioid Studio Condenser Microphone

---

Vancouver BC: C-Tec the exclusive distributor of Microtech-Gefell
microphones is pleased to announce the release of a new studio condenser microphone, the Gefell M950 wide cardioid. Designed specifically for use in applications where capturing the natural sound and ambiance of the instrument, the M950 combines the tonal advantages of an omni-directional microphone with the directional control of a cardioid.

The M950 is extremely compact yet features a full sized 1" diaphragm for greater sensitivity. The capsule is mounted on a triangulated pedestal to reduce body refractions which of course causes comb filtering which has the negative effect of altering the source. The Gefell M950 is phantom powered via standard 48V. Using an optical bridge, the DC input is then converted to light and back to DC to both eliminate noise and hash from the supply while increasing the plate voltage to 80 volts. This allows the M950 to handle an unprecedented 144dB of sound pressure without the use of a pad while only exhibiting 7dBA self noise. This provides 135dB of dynamic headroom making the M950 an ideal choice for high resolution digital recording for 32bit processing and beyond.

The compact design will be of particular interest to engineers as it
allows significantly greater placement ease while reducing on-stage
visibility. This also reduces the sound pressure vortex that surrounds
the mic and provides a net benefit of improved on and off axis pattern
control. The result is a more natural rendering of the instrument with
less artifact.

Suggested List Price: $1600 USD.
