Microtech Gefell M 930 Ts Large-Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Microphone with Output Transformer (Satin Nickel)
Key Features
  • Voice/Instruments in Broadcast & Studio
  • Cardioid Pattern Lowers Background Noise
  • Large-Diaphragm Condenser Capsule
  • Optimized Output Transformer
With high-performance specs and low RFI susceptibility, the satin nickel Microtech Gefell M 930 Ts is a transformer-coupled cardioid condenser microphone well suited for demanding broadcast and studio recording of speech, vocals, and varied instruments. The large-diaphragm capsule is elastically suspended to inhibit vibration noise, allowing the M 930 Ts 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 6 to 12 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 Ts is attractive and easy to place. It includes a microphone holder and a wooden case for storage.

Microtech Gefell M930TS Overview

With high-performance specs and low RFI susceptibility, the satin nickel Microtech Gefell M 930 Ts is a transformer-coupled cardioid condenser microphone well suited for demanding broadcast and studio recording of speech, vocals, and varied instruments. The large-diaphragm capsule is elastically suspended to inhibit vibration noise, allowing the M 930 Ts 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 6 to 12 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 Ts is attractive and easy to place. It includes a microphone holder and a wooden case for storage.

Output Transformer
The M 930 Ts uses the same 1.1" large-diaphragm capsule found in the original M 930 but also features a modified impedance-converter circuit and a specially designed output transformer. This gives the mic a slightly improved low-end response, the ability to drive longer cable runs, and more headroom—especially when working with high-impedance preamps.
For Demanding Users
It 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 Applications
Possible applications for the M 930 Ts include singing, speaking positions, radio plays, and as a support microphone for recording guitars, keyboards, percussion, wind instruments, and strings.
Solid-State Condenser
The M 930 Ts 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 6 to 12 kHz range.
Detailed and Clear
The 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 Pattern
The polar response exhibits an exceptionally high degree of rejection for sounds impinging from the rear of the mic.
Internal Elastic Suspension
The microphone capsule and electronics are elastically suspended inside the compact metal housing. This reduces the sensitivity to mechanical impact and structure-borne noise.
