Frequently Asked Questions

The MV 400 X prioritizes a smaller form factor and lower power consumption, potentially sacrificing a *tiny* bit of absolute sonic transparency compared to some higher-end, larger designs, but the difference is minimal.
No, the MV 400 X is specifically engineered to work with Microtech Gefell's capsule range; attempting to use other capsules may damage the preamp or capsule.
While -118.7 dBu is the theoretical best, achieving that in a real-world setting depends heavily on your overall system setup and acoustic environment, but it’s a remarkably quiet preamp.
