The satin nickel Microtech Gefell UM 92.1 S Tube Condenser Mic Satin Nickelis a multipattern tube condenser microphone offering high signal-to-noise performance and tube warmth for vocals and soloists. Its M 7 large-diaphragm capsule features two gold-coated PVC membranes and is complemented by the specially selected EF 86 vacuum preamp tube.

The three available polar patterns (omnidirectional, cardioid, and figure-8) provide the flexibility required to capture anything from close-up vocals to ambient room sounds. With its robust sensitivity and wide dynamic range, the UM 92.1 S delivers a full sound while handling SPLs up to 120 dB. The microphone connects to the power supply unit via a 7-pin cable, while a 3-pin XLR output is provided on the power supply for connection to your mic preamp.

The supplied elastic suspension securely holds the UM 92.1 S and mitigates the transfer of vibrations and stand handling noise. An aluminum case is provided to house the microphone, power supply, and other included components. A draft shield is also supplied to reduce breath noise and light plosives.

Q: 1. if the vacuum tube is dead, any spare vacuum tube that i can repair my self?

A: I would strongly advise against home repairs. First you will void the warranty as you are not a Sony repair technician. The mic takes a 6AU6 vacuum tube but with a mic at that price point it's not like swapping a 6L6 out of a Fender amp. I would very cautious as you say the tube is dead. Cracked is more common due to mishandling of the mic when the tube is to hot. But dead could be something more complex as to why it's dead. I would advise returning it to Sony and let them fix it.
