Microtech
Gefell introduces with Generation 4 a new modular microphone system.
The start of Generation 4 includes the ultra-compact microphone
preamplifier MV 400 with two alternative connectors, the microphone
capsules M 40 (cardioid), M 41 (super cardioid), M 42 (omnidirectional)
and M 43 (wide-cardioid) as well as options and accessories for
professional use. The advantage of the modular concept is a fast
reaction to changing requirements and a more productive workflow. With
Generation 4, Microtech Gefell evolves from their existing tradition of
modular microphone systems into a new and ultra-compact dimension.
