Microtech Gefell is a German microphone manufacturer based in the small town of Gefell, Thuringia. The company traces its roots to 1928, when Georg Neumann set up a satellite operation there, and to 1943, when Neumann relocated his Berlin staff to Gefell after his factory was bombed. After the division of Germany the Gefell branch was nationalized as VEB Mikrofontechnik Gefell, and following reunification it became an independent, privately-held company under the Kühnast and Drechsler families.

The company designs, builds, and services its microphones at a single facility in Gefell, with product lines spanning studio condensers, small-diaphragm systems, vintage-style tube models, and precision measurement microphones. Well-known studio offerings include the M 930 large-diaphragm condenser, the UMT 70 S multi-pattern condenser, the M 300 small-diaphragm condenser, and the UM 900 tube microphone. On the metrology side, the company produces 1" measurement capsules, weather-resistant outdoor monitoring units such as the WME 980, and the MV 240 USB measurement amplifier, with the lab certified to ISO 17025 standards.

Gefell microphones built a strong reputation in European broadcast and classical recording, with extensive use in East German radio and television production. The brand remains a respected, niche choice among engineers who favor its capsule designs and lineage shared with the early Neumann CMV and M 7 capsule heritage.

Microtech Gefell has 10 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Condenser Microphones. Their gear is featured by 5 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Pop, and Classical. Notable users include Thomas DeLonge, FINNEAS, and Lizzy McAlpine.
