Its low-noise FET amplifier combined with a transformer-balanced output produces a clean, natural sound with subtle harmonic richness that has become a signature of classic Gefell microphones.

M94 CAPSULE The M94 is one of Gefell's finest small-diaphragm cardioid capsules, built around a precision nickel diaphragm. This traditional East German design produces exceptional transient response, natural midrange and a beautifully open top end. Compared to the earlier M70, the M94 extends further into the high frequencies while maintaining the warm, effortless presentation that has made vintage Gefell microphones favourites in classical and acoustic recording. The result is an extremely detailed yet never harsh microphone with excellent off-axis behaviour and superb stereo imaging.
