Neumann Gefell produced the The CMV 563 condenser microphones from 1956 til 1971. This tube microphone became popular for its great price/performance ratio.

CMV 563 comes with an M7 "bayonet" capsule, but it can also be paired with an M55k omnidirectional capsule.

The M7 capsule barely needs an introduction, it is a cardioid capsule found in the Neumanns famous U47 mic.

The capsule is separated from the microphone amplifier body with a short pillar 'stalk'.
