Microtech Gefell M 930 Overview

The satin nickel M 930 Studio Condenser Microphone from Microtech Gefell is a cardioid microphone with 48V phantom power that combines a large-diaphragm capsule with semi-conductor circuit technology. It can be used to capture audio in radio and sound studios as well as for home-recording applications for singers, speakers, keyboards, strings, wind instruments, and more.

The condenser microphone has a balanced frequency response with a slight elevation from 7 to 11 kHz, and a high cancellation for backward and lateral sound. Built with an extended modulation range, the circuit design allows for detailed transmission of low sound levels, as well as distortion-free imaging of high sound pressures. The compact microphone housing is mounted with the capsule to dampen body sound and impacts.

Furthermore, the microphone is equipped with a 3-pin XLR connector, and the power is supplied with standard 48V phantom power. The M 930 Studio Condenser Microphone includes a pop-screen filter, an elastic suspension mount, and a wood case for storage.

Microtech Gefell M 930 Reviews

Great mic

By Michael
Rated 5 out of 5

Got while it was 40% off - great sound. Much preferred over the TLM 102/103. It's super sensitive to plosives/handling noise - so that's been a learning curve but I am very happy I made the investment.

Original Neumann sound

Let me try to break this down as short as I can. I had been saving and dreaming of acquiring a u87ai for years. Recently I had clients not pleased with the colorization my mojave audio 201 fet mic was giving my vocals for narration duties. So I started thinking of buying a tlm 103 after having returned it a year ago because it was just to harsh for my voice. Although it was silky and extremely detailed, It just was to sibilant for me and sounded harsh in the higher frequencies for me. So researching I came across Gefell and how it is actually the Neumann family still in charge of Gefell while modern Neumann mics are made by senheisser. So I took a chance, and ordered the m930. Wow oh wow. It takes the best of the tlm 103 and does it even better. It's just as silky, and much more pleasing. I think of it actually closer to the u87ai but without the boxy midrange that mic is notorious for. It sits between the u87ai and tlm 103, but sits closer to the u87ai. I think my u87ai desires have been put to rest with the m930. It's so clean, clear, and silky. My voice has a lot of natural color, so the m930 works wonderful not adding any more and actually makes my voice sound much more pleasing. I wish I would've gotten this mic sooner when I first started doing voice work. It's compact, with a big open natural sound. I'm extremely happy with my purchase.
