Delivered with a wooden case, the satin nickel Microtech Gefell MT 71 S is a large-diaphragm cardioid studio condenser microphone designed to produce a clean, transparent sound devoid of coloration for vocals and instruments in recording studios, radio stations, and TV broadcasting. Its transformerless circuitry yields a slew of benefits including excellent transient response, high RFI rejection, wide dynamic range, and low self-noise.
The dual-capacitor design utilizes two gold-plated PVC diaphragms, a single brass back plate, and a cardioid polar pattern, which yields a smooth treble boost at around 7 kHz along with effectively reduction of background noise behind the mic. The -10 dB pad enables distortion-free capture of loud sources such as drums, percussion, and speaker cabinets, and the switchable bass cut offsets proximity effect by applying a 10 dB reduction at 90 Hz. The MT 71 S operates on 48V phantom power and features a gold-plated XLR 3-pin output connector. It is compatible with several optional mic holders and suspensions.Low-Noise, Transparent SoundDesigned for clean, transparent sound reproduction free of colorationWell suited for instrumental and vocal soloists in radio and television broadcasting and any other kind of accurate productionHigh sensitivity and improved signal-to-noise ratioCardioid Condenser CapsulePressure-gradient transducer is a dual-capacitor design with a single-brass back plate and two large-diameter gold-plated plastic diaphragmsCardioid pattern exhibits a smooth presence boost rising to about 4 dB in the 7 kHz range and a slight roll-off at low frequenciesTransformerless CircuitryThe newly developed transformerless circuit design substitutes the previous transformer for a symmetrical output stage yielding a superb transient response combined with a high RFI rejectionThe circuit technology also achieves a wider dynamic range by lowering the self-noise floor and increasing the headroom for loud signalsPad and Low-Cut SwitchesSwitchable -10 dB pad increases the maximum SPL handling to 144 dB, ideal when placing the mic near very loud sound sourcesLow-frequency sensitivity reduction attenuates 90 Hz by approximately 10 dB to suppress the proximity effect when close-mikingPhysical TraitsStandard XLR 3-pin output connectorOperates on 48V phantom powerCompatible with an array of optional mic holders and suspensions such as the MH 75 and the AT8410aIncludes a wooden case
