Microtech Gefell M 930 Large-Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Microphone (Bronze)
With its high-performance specifications and low susceptibility to RFI, the bronze Microtech Gefell M 930 cardioid condenser microphone excels in demanding broadcast and studio recording environments, capturing speech, vocals, and various instruments with exceptional clarity. The large-diaphragm capsule and transformerless electronics, elastically suspended to minimize vibration noise, ensure detailed reproduction of low-level signals and distortion-free clarity at high SPLs up to 142 dB, with very low self-noise (7 dBA). Featuring a balanced and flat overall frequency response, with a subtle rise from 7 to 11 kHz for added presence and brilliance, the M 930's cardioid polar pattern achieves over 25 dB of rear rejection, effectively reducing background noise and bleed from surrounding sources. Compact yet durable, the metal-bodied M 930 is both visually appealing and easy to position, and it comes complete with a microphone holder and a wooden storage case.
For Demanding Users
Designed for professional and semi-professional users who demand the utmost from their equipment, suitable for universal use in radio and recording studios, as well as in the demanding realm of home recording.
Versatile Applications
The M 930 finds applications in singing, speaking positions, radio productions, and as a supporting microphone for recording guitars, keyboards, percussion, wind instruments, and strings.
Solid-State Condenser
Combining updated large-diaphragm capsule technology with the latest semiconductor circuitry, the M 930 offers a smooth frequency response with a subtle presence boost in the 7 to 11 kHz range.
Detailed and Clear
Featuring a newly perfected electronic impedance converter circuit topology, the M 930 achieves an extremely low noise floor (just 7 dBA) while enhancing maximum output capability, delivering clean, distortion-free sound over a wide dynamic range, with minimal RFI susceptibility.
Cardioid Polar Pattern
With exceptional rear rejection, the M 930's polar response effectively rejects sounds impinging from the rear of the microphone.
Internal Elastic Suspension
The microphone capsule and electronics are securely suspended within the compact metal housing, reducing sensitivity to mechanical impact and structure-borne noise.
