The Gefell M400 Cardioid + 93.1 Clip is a highly compact, studio-quality small diaphragm condenser microphone featuring a cardioid polar pattern. It is equipped with interchangeable microphone heads, including cardioid, super-cardioid, omnidirectional, and wide-cardioid options. The microphone is designed with a low-noise integrated hybrid circuit and transformer-less design for exceptional dynamic range and minimal self-noise.

Interchangeable Microphone Heads

The M400 series offers remarkable flexibility with its interchangeable heads: the M40 (cardioid), M41 (super-cardioid), M42 (omnidirectional), and M43 (wide-cardioid). These heads can be attached to the MV 400X (XLR connector) or the more compact MV 400L (LEMO connector) microphone bodies. By owning multiple heads and bodies, professionals can quickly adapt their setups to various recording scenarios.

Advanced Circuitry and High SPL Handling

The M400’s advanced circuitry, including a low-noise hybrid design and transformer-less circuit, ensures a wide dynamic range and reliable operation. The microphone utilises a phantom-powered DC/DC converter that raises the polarising voltage to 60V, enabling the microphone to handle high sound pressure levels (SPL) while maintaining low self-noise. Its robust RFI protection minimises susceptibility to radio interference.

Versatile Applications

The M400 series is purpose-built for studio applications in radio, television broadcasting, film, live performances, and sound reinforcement. It excels in professional and semi-professional markets, particularly in challenging acoustic environments such as churches, cathedrals, and large auditoria.

Finish

The M400 series microphones feature a matte black finish, suitable for any professional setting.

Important Notes

Microphone capsules from the SMS 2000 series are fully compatible with MV 400 microphone bodies.
