Microtech Gefell M 930 Large-Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Microphone (Satin Nickel)
The satin nickel Microtech Gefell M 930 cardioid condenser microphone stands out for its high-performance specifications and low susceptibility to RFI, making it an ideal choice for demanding broadcast and studio recording applications involving speech, vocals, and various instruments. Equipped with a large-diaphragm capsule and transformerless electronics, which are elastically suspended to prevent vibration noise, the M 930 delivers exceptional detail for low-level signals and distortion-free clarity even at high SPLs up to 142 dB, while maintaining very low self-noise levels (7 dBA). Its overall frequency response is well-balanced and flat, with a slight elevation from 7 to 11 kHz, imparting enhanced presence and brilliance to the sound. The cardioid polar pattern ensures effective cancellation at the rear of the microphone, exceeding 25 dB, thereby minimizing background noise and bleed from other sources. Compact and 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 case for storage.
Designed for Demanding Users
The microphone caters to professional and semi-professional users who demand the utmost performance from their equipment, making it suitable for a wide range of applications in radio and recording studios, as well as the demanding home recording sector.
Versatile Applications
The M 930 finds its use in various scenarios including singing, speaking positions, radio productions, and as a support microphone for recording guitars, keyboards, percussion, wind instruments, and strings.
Advanced Solid-State Condenser Technology
Featuring updated large-diaphragm capsule technology paired 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.
Clear and Detailed Sound
The electronic impedance converter employs a newly perfected circuit topology, resulting in an extremely low noise floor (just 7 dBA) and enhanced maximum output capability. This ensures a clean, distortion-free sound across an extensive dynamic range, with minimal susceptibility to RFI.
Effective Cardioid Polar Pattern
The microphone's polar response effectively rejects sounds impinging from the rear, providing optimal audio capture in various environments.
Internal Elastic Suspension
Elastically suspending the microphone capsule and electronics inside the compact metal housing reduces sensitivity to mechanical impact and structure-borne noise, ensuring clear and undisturbed recordings.
