Gefell Updates + New Price List for 2019
 
Website updates - we have been updating the Gefell section of the Sound-Link website recently.  All the detailed product pages of the Gefell microphones are now up and running; more photographs will be added during the coming weeks, but there is now a lot of detail there including polar diagrams, frequency curves and data sheets.
 
New Price List - After keeping prices the same for over 7 years, Microtech Gefell have now issued a new price list valid from the 1st January 2019.
 
The increases have been kept to a minimum and Sound-Link has absorbed some of the increase to keep it as small as possible - in fact a few items have actually reduced in price as Gefell have looked closely at the actual manufacturing costs.
 
Sound-Link will honour the existing price list for all orders placed before the 31st December this year.
 
The new 2019 price list is on the website HERE
