Microtech Gefell M 930 Ts Large-Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Microphone with Output Transformer (Satin Nickel)
Boasting high-performance specifications and minimal RFI susceptibility, the satin nickel Microtech Gefell M 930 Ts stands out as a transformer-coupled cardioid condenser microphone, ideal for demanding broadcast and studio recording applications spanning speech, vocals, and various instruments. Its large-diaphragm capsule, elastically suspended to counteract vibration noise, enables the M 930 Ts to capture exceptional detail for both low-level signals and distortion-free clarity at high SPLs up to 142 dB, all while maintaining remarkably low self-noise levels (7 dBA). The microphone's overall frequency response remains well-balanced and flat, with a subtle rise from 6 to 12 kHz, lending an added touch of presence and brilliance to recordings. Thanks to its cardioid polar pattern, the M 930 Ts achieves over 25 dB of cancellation at the rear of the mic, effectively reducing background noise and unwanted bleed from other sources. Compact yet sturdy, the metal-bodied M 930 Ts is visually appealing and effortlessly positioned, complemented by a microphone holder and a wooden case for convenient storage.
Output Transformer: Incorporating the same 1.1" large-diaphragm capsule as the original M 930, the M 930 Ts also features a modified impedance-converter circuit and a specially designed output transformer. These enhancements contribute to a slightly improved low-end response, enhanced capability to drive longer cable runs, and increased headroom, particularly beneficial when paired with high-impedance preamps.
Designed for Demanding Users: Tailored for professional and semi-professional users with exacting standards, the M 930 Ts excels in universal applications across radio and recording studios, as well as the demanding home recording sector.
Versatile Applications: From singing and spoken-word performances to radio productions, the M 930 Ts finds versatile applications as a support microphone for various instruments, including guitars, keyboards, percussion, wind instruments, and strings.
Solid-State Condenser: Combining updated large-diaphragm capsule technology with cutting-edge 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 a wide dynamic range. Additionally, the microphone exhibits very low RFI susceptibility.
Cardioid Polar Pattern: The microphone's polar response offers exceptional rejection of sounds impinging from the rear, further minimizing unwanted noise pickup.
Internal Elastic Suspension: By elastically suspending the microphone capsule and electronics within the compact metal housing, sensitivity to mechanical impact and structure-borne noise is significantly reduced.
