Microtech Gefell KEM 975 Satin Nickel

Cardioid Plane Microphone

• Precise, unique microphone system developed in collaboration with the Institute for Broadcast Technology in Munich
• Vertical line array with eight small-diaphragm condenser capsules connected in series generate a precisely controlled directional field with defined vertical limitation
• Combines a 30° vertical aperture angle with a horizontal cardioid pattern for targeted pickup in echo chambers, churches or for orchestral or choral recordings
• Minimisation of reflections and crosstalk
• Three times the acoustic range compared to omnidirectional microphones enables recordings from a distance without loss of sound
• Ideal e.g. for choirs behind orchestras or for scenic movement on stages
• Fully analogue signal path without digital interventions for high-end recordings without latency and with authenticity
• Distortion-free processing of extreme levels up to 152 dB SPL
