Mercenary Audio - Microtech Gefell M 930 Large Diaphram Cardioid Condenser

Don't let its small size fool you, the M-930 has the air and vitality of a serious large diaphragm condenser mic with "air" that will not quit. The silky top is created from a combination of superior capsule technology coupled with Microtech Gefell's proprietary solid state amplifier. A slight presence boost in the 7-11kHz range insures a lovely sparkle when used in distant microphone placement applications, great "air" on most vocals and a drum overhead tone that is absolutely second to none.

gefell m930 features

The M 930 studio condenser microphones combine modern large diaphragm capsule technology with the latest in semiconductor circuit topology. They are specifically designed to meet the needs of professional and semi-professional users who demand the highest performance. The M 930 are ideally suited for universal miking applications in broadcast and sound studios. Their very favorable pricing also makes them attractive for project studios. Applications include vocalists, announcers, dialog pickup and as a spot microphones for recording guitars, keyboard, percussion, wind and string instruments.

The pick-up pattern is perpendicular to the direction of the microphone axis ( side addressed ). The model number and pick-up pattern symbol mark the front of the microphone.

The condenser capsule exhibits a smooth frequency response with a slight presence boost in the 7 to 11 kHz range. The polar response exhibits an exceptionally high degree of rejection for sounds impinging from the rear ( cardioid ) or sides ( super-cardioid ) of the microphone. The electronic impedance converter uses a newly perfected circuit topology. This design reduces the noise floor to an extremely low level while also raising the maximum output capability. As a result, these microphones have a clean, distortion free sound over an extremely wide dynamic range. RFI susceptibility is very low.

The microphone capsule and electronics are elastically suspended inside the compact metal housing. This reduces the sensitivity to mechanical impact and structure born noise. The microphone stand holder MH 93.1 can be exchanged for an elastic suspension EH 93 to further attenuate noise in extreme situations.

The M 930 connect to the microphone cable with a standard 3-pin XLR plug. Powering must be provided by an external 48 V phantom supply according to DIN 45596 and IEC 268-15. The microphones are finished in either a matte nickel or dark bronze color.
