With high-performance specs and low RFI susceptibility, the satin nickel Microtech Gefell M 930 cardioid condenser microphone is especially well suited for demanding broadcast and studio recording of speech, vocals, and varied instruments. The large-diaphragm capsule and transformerless electronics, which are elastically suspended to inhibit vibration noise, allow the M 930 to produce excellent detail for low-level signals as well as distortion-free clarity at high SPLs up to 142 dB, all while yielding very low self-noise (7 dBA). The overall frequency response is balanced and quite flat, with a slight rise from 7 to 11 kHz to exude enhanced presence and brilliance. Thanks to the cardioid polar pattern, cancellation at the rear of the mic exceeds 25 dB, helping minimize background noise and bleed from other sounds. Both compact and durable, the metal-bodied M 930 is attractive and easy to place. It includes a microphone holder and a wooden case for storage. For Demanding UsersIt is designed for professional and semi-professional users who place the highest demands on their equipment. The microphone is particularly suitable for universal use in radio and recording studios and, due to the price class, also in the demanding home recording sector.Versatile ApplicationsPossible applications for the M 930 include singing, speaking positions, radio plays, and as a support microphone for recording guitars, keyboards, percussion, wind instruments, and strings.Solid-State CondenserThe M 930 studio microphone combines updated large-diaphragm capsule technology with the latest semiconductor circuit technology. The condenser capsules exhibits a smooth frequency response with a slight presence boost in the 7 to 11 kHz range.Detailed and ClearThe electronic impedance converter uses a newly perfected circuit topology. This design reduces the noise floor to an extremely low level (just 7 dBA) while also raising the maximum output capability. As a result, the microphone has a clean, distortion-free sound over an extremely wide dynamic range. Also, RFI susceptibility is very low.Cardioid Polar PatternThe polar response exhibits an exceptionally high degree of rejection for sounds impinging from the rear of the mic.Internal Elastic SuspensionThe microphone capsule and electronics are elastically suspended inside the compact metal housing. This reduces the sensitivity to mechanical impact and structure-borne noise.Features at a GlanceExtreme dynamic rangeLow noise floor (7 dBA)Universal applicationsLarge-diaphragm capsuleAdvanced circuitryTransformerless outputInternal elastic suspensionCompact and sturdy designXLR 3-pin output connector48V phantom poweredIncludes mic holder and wooden box
