Microtech Gefell MT71S FET Dual Membrane Cardioid Microphone

NOTE: Available in satin nickel and black matte finishes. Comes with wood case.

Microtech Gefell's MT71S is a cardioid-pattern FET microphone that features their M7 dual-membrane, gold evaporated capsule. The MT71S also included a low-noise capsule amplifier for superior transient response, wide bandwidth and a natural uncolored sound. The slim design benefits the MT71S with less acoustic field disruption around the microphone and greater placement ease when close micing instruments. Ideal for recording, broadcast, voice-over and live sound reinforcement.

Mounted inside on the MT71S's triangulated pedestal is an M7 capsule, which is a pressure gradient transducer that is renowned for its warm and natural tone. It features a dual 1" (25 mm), 24-karat gold evaporated membrane design with a PVC substrate. The triangulated capsule pedestal deflects unwanted body reflections away from the microphone, reducing phase cancellation and comb-filtering. This offers greater source detail, improved upper-harmonic reach, and a more articulated rendering.

The accurate and colorless sound of the MT71S is well-suited for instrumental and vocal soloists in radio and television broadcast. Comes in it's own beautifully hand-crafted wood box.
