Microtech Gefell M 930 Ts Large-Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Microphone with Output Transformer (Dark Bronze)

With its high-performance specifications and low RFI susceptibility, the dark bronze Microtech Gefell M 930 Ts stands out as a transformer-coupled cardioid condenser microphone, perfectly tailored for demanding broadcast and studio recording applications, including speech, vocals, and various instruments. Featuring a large diaphragm capsule elastically suspended to counteract vibration noise, the M 930 Ts excels in capturing excellent detail for both low-level signals and distortion-free clarity at high SPLs up to 142 dB, all while maintaining very low self-noise levels (7 dBA). The microphone's overall frequency response remains balanced and flat, with a subtle rise from 6 to 12 kHz, enhancing presence and brilliance. Thanks to its cardioid polar pattern, the M 930 Ts achieves more than 25 dB of cancellation at the rear of the mic, effectively reducing background noise and bleed from surrounding sounds. Compact yet durable, the metal-bodied M 930 Ts is both visually appealing and easily positionable, and it comes complete with a microphone holder and wooden case for storage.

Output Transformer:

The M 930 Ts incorporates the same 1.1" large-diaphragm capsule as the original M 930 but boasts a modified impedance-converter circuit and a specially designed output transformer. These enhancements result in a slightly improved low-end response, increased capability to drive longer cable runs, and greater headroom, particularly beneficial when paired with high-impedance preamps.

Designed for Demanding Users:

Tailored for professional and semi-professional users who demand top-notch performance from their equipment, the M 930 Ts is well-suited for universal use in radio and recording studios, as well as in the demanding home recording sector.

Versatile Applications:

The M 930 Ts finds applications across a wide range of scenarios, including singing, speaking engagements, radio productions, and serving 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 Ts delivers a smooth frequency response with a subtle presence boost in the 6 to 12 kHz range.

Detailed and Clear:

The newly perfected electronic impedance converter circuit topology ensures an extremely low noise floor (just 7 dBA) while simultaneously increasing the maximum output capability, resulting in a clean, distortion-free sound across an extensive dynamic range. Additionally, the microphone exhibits very low RFI susceptibility.

Cardioid Polar Pattern:

The microphone's polar response offers exceptional rejection of sounds coming from the rear, further minimizing unwanted noise pickup.

Internal Elastic Suspension:

The elastically suspended microphone capsule and electronics housed within the compact metal body reduce sensitivity to mechanical impact and structure-borne noise.
