Gefell M 1030 Condenser Microphone and AP 1 Preamp Premium Bundle #198/121 (Used)

 

This expertly paired microphone and preamp bundle from Gefell offers high performance with flexibility to meet many professionals needs. The M 1030 is a large diaphragm FET condenser microphone that combines modern large diaphragm capsule technology with the latest in semiconductor circuit topology. The AP-1 features a low-noise circuit design providing a wide dynamic range.

M 1030 LARGE DIAPHRAGM FET CONDENSER MICROPHONE

The Gefell M 1030 studio condenser microphone combines modern large diaphragm capsule technology with the latest in semiconductor circuit topology. The size of the microphone housing is optimized with regard to the expectations of a large diaphragm microphone for studio applications.

The microphone is specifically designed to meet the needs of professional and semi-professional users who demand the highest performance. The microphones are ideally suited for universal miking applications in broadcast and sound studios. Applications include vocalists, announcers, dialog pickup and as spot microphones for recording guitars, keyboard, percussion, wind and string instruments.

The pick-up pattern is perpendicular to the direction of the microphone axis (side addressed). The model number and pick-up pattern symbol mark the front of the microphone. The green LED inside the protection grid operates as optical ready indicator.

The condenser capsule exhibits a smooth frequency response with a slight presence boost in the 8 to 14 kHz range. The polar response exhibits an exceptionally high degree of rejection for sounds impinging from the rear (cardioid) or sides (super-cardioid) of the microphone. The electronic impedance converter uses a newly perfected circuit topology. This design reduces the noise floor to an extremely low level while also raising the maximum output capability. As a result, this microphone have a clean, distortion free sound over an extremely wide dynamic range. RFI susceptibility is very low.

AP-1 MICROPHONE PREAMP

The Gefell AP 1 is a single-channel microphone preamplifier with an extreme low-noise circuit design, a wide dynamic range and very linear transmission properties. With the amplifier the precise transmission of low signal levels is possible as well as the distortion-free transmission of high signal levels. It is ideally suited for the use with condenser microphones in large diaphragm transistor construction which have an extreme low noise level and a very high headroom. Recommended applications are recordings of speech, vocals or acoustical instruments. The intuitive and uncomplicated handling of the amplifier guarantees the user an absolutely concentration on the recording.

• Discrete transistor amplifier
• One microphone input - two parallel line outputs
• Defined and reproducible amplifier adjustment in 3 dB steps, switched by relays for avoiding of switching noise
• Stepless gain adjustment in a ±6 dB range with arrest at 0 dB
• Switchable high-pass filter for impact-sound insulation with adjustable frequency between 18 Hz and 220 Hz
• Switchable 48 V phantom powering according to IEC 61938
• Phase inverter
