Microtech Gefell M 930 Large-Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Microphone with EA 93 Shockmount (Satin Nickel)

With its high-performance specifications and low susceptibility to RFI, the satin nickel Microtech Gefell M 930 cardioid condenser microphone is exceptionally well-suited for demanding broadcast and studio recording applications, including speech, vocals, and various instruments. Featuring a large-diaphragm capsule and transformerless electronics, which are elastically suspended to minimize vibration noise, the M 930 delivers excellent detail for low-level signals and distortion-free clarity even at high SPLs up to 142 dB, with very low self-noise (7 dBA). The microphone's overall frequency response is balanced and flat, with a slight rise from 7 to 11 kHz, imparting enhanced presence and brilliance. Thanks to its cardioid polar pattern, rear rejection exceeds 25 dB, effectively minimizing background noise and bleeding from other sources. Compact and durable, the metal-bodied M 930 is both visually appealing and easy to position, and it comes complete with an EA93 shockmount and a wooden storage case.

For Demanding Users

Designed for professional and semi-professional users who demand the highest standards 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 is suitable for a wide range of applications, including singing, speaking positions, radio productions, and as a support 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

The electronic impedance converter utilizes a newly perfected circuit topology, reducing the noise floor to an extremely low level (just 7 dBA) while enhancing maximum output capability, resulting in a clean, distortion-free sound over an extremely wide dynamic range, with minimal RFI susceptibility.

Cardioid Polar Pattern

The M 930's polar response exhibits an exceptionally high degree of rejection for sounds impinging from the rear of the microphone.

Internal Elastic Suspension

The microphone capsule and electronics are elastically suspended inside the compact metal housing, reducing sensitivity to mechanical impact and structure-borne noise.

Includes Shockmount

This version of the M 930 includes the EA 93 shockmount to further isolate the microphone from vibrations and handling noise.
