The satin nickel Microtech Gefell UM 900 Tube Condenser Mic Satin Nickelis a compact phantom-powered tube microphone with a standard 3-pin XLR output, multiple polar patterns, and adjustable gain and frequency controls, making it a truly versatile mic for an array of sources and applications ranging from studio vocal recording to miking an orchestra on a scoring stage.

All the UM 900's electronics including the specially selected vacuum tube are housed in the mic's body, which is constructed to minimize reflections. Additionally, this allows the UM 900 to be connected directly to an XLR input as it requires no dedicated power supply unit.

The UM 900 features onboard switches for the 70 Hz bass cut, the -10/0/+4 dB gain control, and the five polar patterns—omnidirectional, wide cardioid, cardioid, hypercardioid, and figure-8. Thanks to the integral vibration-dampening fixture and the included elastic suspension, the UM 900 mitigates sonic disturbances from sources such as rumble. A windscreen is supplied for attenuation of light wind noise and plosives.

• Advanced circuit design for the amplifier and internal power supply make this the first multipattern tube condenser mic that can be connected via a standard XLR cable and powered via 48 VDC phantom power
• High sensitivity and low noise for clear vocal and speech pickup in professional sound recording studios, scoring stages, and broadcast studios
• Body shape minimizes undesirable sound reflections toward the pickup element
• Acoustic influences that could result from the housing resonance and/or mechanical vibration are reduced by the robust construction and by a special vibration-dampening fixture within the microphone's housing
• Large-diaphragm capsule with two gold-plated plastic diaphragms
• Five selectable polar patterns— omnidirectional, wide cardioid, cardioid, hypercardioid, and figure-8
• 3-position level adjustment switch—0 dB, -10 dB (increases the maximum SPL handling), and +4 dB (activated for cardioid mode only)
• Low-frequency sensitivity reduction attenuates 70 Hz by approximately 10 dB to suppress the proximity effect when close-miking with the directional patterns
• Specially selected internal vacuum tube can be powered by any external 48V phantom power source that can provide at least 4mA of current
• Internal transverter provides all necessary voltages
• Low-impedance output (only 30 ohms) is implemented with an operational amplifier and a balanced output transformer
• Standard 3-pin XLR output connector with gold-plated contacts
• Includes an elastic suspension and a windscreen
• Includes a suitcase for safe storage and easy transport
