Microtech Gefell M 930 Large-Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Microphone with EA 93 Shockmount (Dark Bronze)
Combining high-performance specifications with low susceptibility to RFI, the Microtech Gefell M 930 cardioid condenser microphone in a distinguished dark bronze finish excels in demanding broadcast and studio recording applications, capturing speech, vocals, and various instruments with precision. Its large-diaphragm capsule and transformerless electronics, suspended elastically to mitigate vibration noise, ensure exceptional detail for low-level signals and distortion-free clarity at high SPLs up to 142 dB, all while maintaining very low self-noise (7 dBA).
Delivering 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, minimizing background noise and bleed from surrounding sources. Compact yet robust, the metal-bodied M 930 is both visually appealing and easy to position. This model includes an EA93 shock mount and a wooden case for convenient storage.
Designed for Demanding Users
Ideal for professional and semi-professional users with exacting standards, suitable for use in radio and recording studios, as well as in the demanding realm of home recording.
Versatile Applications
Suitable for a wide range of applications including vocals, spoken word, radio productions, and as a supporting microphone for recording guitars, keyboards, percussion, wind instruments, and strings.
Solid-State Condenser
Combines advanced large-diaphragm capsule technology with cutting-edge semiconductor circuitry, offering a smooth frequency response with a subtle presence boost in the 7 to 11 kHz range.
Detailed and Clear
The refined electronic impedance converter minimizes the noise floor to an impressively low level (just 7 dBA), while enhancing the maximum output capability, resulting in a clean, distortion-free sound across a wide dynamic range, with minimal RFI susceptibility.
Cardioid Polar Pattern
Provides exceptional rear rejection, ensuring focused capture of desired sound sources while minimizing unwanted background noise.
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.
Includes Shockmount
This version of the M 930 comes complete with the EA 93 shock mount, enhancing isolation from vibrations and handling noise for pristine audio capture.
