Taking the best oft the past and making it better – 30th anniversary of the Gefell M 92 mic family
The M 92.1 S /UM 92.1 S Studio Microphones from Gefell – 90 years of tradition paired with modern microphone design Tube condenser microphones have been appreciated in the audio field since 1928, after Georg Neumann succeeded in mass-producing the first commercial tube microphone, the CMV3, called "the bottle". Even though tube microphones have become rarer since the establishment of solid-state/FET condenser microphone technology, they are still among the most sought-after microphones in professional studios worldwide. Tube microphone technology is still highly valued in professional audio for their characteristic "tube sound", especially by singers and soloists. This also applies to the legendary Gefell tube microphones, such as the M 92.1…

Forever young – Zum 30. Jubiläum der Gefell M 92 Mikrofonfamilie
. Forever young – Zum 30. Jubiläum der Gefell M 92 Mikrofonfamilie 1928 gelang dem Mikrofonpionier Georg Neumann als erstem die kommerzielle Serienproduktion eines Röhren-Kondensatormikrofons – dem CMV3, genannt "die Neumann-Flasche". Dies war der Beginn eines Siegeszuges der Röhren-Kondensatormikrofone. Heute haben Transistoren die Vakuumröhren in den meisten elektronischen Geräten zwar oftmals weitgehend ersetzt, doch in der professionellen Audiotechnik, z.B. in Mikrofonen, werden Röhren nach wie vor hoch geschätzt. So sind Röhrenmikrofone seit der Etablierung der Solid-State FET-Kondensatormikrofontechnologie zwar seltener geworden, gehören aber wegen ihres charakteristischen "Röhrensounds" immer noch zu den begehrtesten Mikrofonen in professionellen Studios weltweit. Das gilt auch für die legendären Röhrenmikrofone aus Gefell. Tradition und Innovation – Die Gefell M…

3D-Audiorecording from Gefell – Simply hearing is good, being surrounded by sound is better 3D audio recording from Gefell – A sound like being in the middle of it all To be fully immersed in sound is an old dream and immersive is the current magic word. The quest for three-dimensional sound has been around for centuries. As early as the 16th century, for example, a musical practice emerged in Italy that made musical history as "Venetian polychoralism". In architecturally suitable rooms, such as churches and cathedrals, the first spatial sound music was produced by several orchestras or choirs placed at different points in the room. Masters of this art…

Kompliziert war Gestern – 3D Audio recording mit dem M Cube
3D-Audiorecording aus Gefell – Nur Hören ist gut, vom Klang umhüllt sein ist besser Voll einzutauchen in den Sound – ein alter Traum ist und Immersiv ist das aktuelle Zauberwort. So gibt es ein Streben nach dreidimensionalem Klang schon seit Jahrhunderten. Bereits im 16. Jahrhundert kam z.B. in Italien eine Musikpraxis auf, die als „venezianische Mehrchörigkeit“ Musikgeschichte schrieb. In bauakustisch geeigneten architektonischen Räumen, wie Kirchen und Kathedralen, wurde dabei erste Raumklangmusik durch mehrere Orchester bzw. Chöre erzeugt, die im Raum an verschiedenen Stellen platziert waren. Meister dieser Kunst waren u.a. Giovanni Gabrieli und Johann Sebastian Bach. Der Wunsch nach einem wesentlich intensiveren Hörerlebnis wuchs mit Beginn der Tonaufzeichnung. Meilensteine hierbei…
