BUILD & DESIGN
The MV 692 is the solid-state successor to Gefell’s classic tube microphones, based on the same interchangeable capsule system.

It features a modular 12V phantom-powered amplifier body, designed for use with the original N 691 PSU. The body features a sturdy matte-metal finish, robust Tuchel connector, and a satisfying mechanical feel throughout. These systems were built to last — and they do.

The included M70 capsule is a cardioid, center-terminated design with a real nickel diaphragm — crafted with precision at the historic Gefell facility under the direction of Georg Neumann’s colleague, Erich Kühnast and capsule master Thiersch.

SOUND CHARACTERISTICS
The MV 692 with M70 capsule delivers a rich, present tone with remarkable smoothness. Its nickel diaphragm gives it a natural openness, and the transformerless amplifier ensures low self-noise and fast transient response. Ideal for acoustic guitar, vocals, piano, and stringed instruments — but also surprisingly good on overheads or room mics where clarity and warmth are equally valued.
