Characteristics
The Microtech Gefell M 300 is a small diaphragm condenser microphone that is designed for use in the recording studio. Microtech Gefell is a company that was founded by Georg Neumann, obviously of Neumann fame, so these mics are in the same vein as the best in the business. The M 300 in particular has a cardioid pick up pattern and picks up frequencies between 40 Hz and 18 kHz. I wouldn't use this mic outside of the recording studio considering it's price and fragility. It isn't designed for other uses anyway, so I wouldn't even try.
Overall Opinion
The Microtech Gefell M 300's are without a doubt some of the best sounding small diaphragm condenser mics that I've got experience using. Probably the most used application for these microphones will be for recording drum overheads, but the M 300's are great for just about any application where you're looking for a good amount of mid to high end detail. They sound immaculate on just about every application I have used them for, which also includes acoustic guitar and violin. While I used one M 300 in tandem with a large diaphragm condenser for recording acoustic guitar, I definitely could have gotten away with just the one M 300 placed around the 12th fret, as it really did a great job of getting a full sound with a silky smooth high end. The M 300's are without a doubt in the same vein as the Neumann KM 84's and 184's, but I haven't had a chance to shoot them out ever. If you're a professional studio owner or engineer looking for an absurdly high quality set of small diaphragm condensers, definitely keep the Microtech Gefell M 300's in the conversation although they will cost about as much money as you can spend on a small diaphragm condenser.

Characteristics
Condenser microphone cardioid small diaphragm, transformerless.

Allowable pressure very high, up to 147 db.

This is the re-enactment of the MV692 preamp and capsule M70.

Entirely hand made in factories founded by Georg Neumann Gefell, former GDR.

The build quality is probably the best market, the models seem indestructible and everlasting. The quality finish equal the Neumann TLM and Audio Technica 40 Series.

I have several models, some dating from the 80's, they sound all still exactly the same way ....
Overall Opinion
I use them for voice to the chorus and occasionally lead vocals for, but also recovery of scratching folk / classical.

For the chorus, the result is fantastic and accurate copy of full integration in the mix are waiting for you.

Like its twin Neumann, there is a slight bump in the high mids, but it's still very soft, without the aggressiveness that we can see from the new 184 km.

The smoothness is exemplary, slightly higher than the old 84/85 km. It is comparable with that of similar models Schoeps, yet tube.

Listening sockets, I often feel that they used a large diaphragm in fact, without defects (too much noise capture breathing ,..., useful but not lead the singing choirs) .

A scratch sound is simply sublime ... I use it in tandem with the AT4060, according to what I want. In one case as in the other, the result is very clean, very rich in detail.

Again, the integration is in the mix that impresses the most. No need to EQ ...

By far the best Micro cigar that has passed me in the hands, much higher than the KM184, however, less new, the honor is safe.

on the other hand, can be found MV692 (former versions of this microphone, but completely identical badged RFT Gefell Microtech instead of) the ridiculous price of 200 € OCCAZ ...
