Beyerdynamic MC 930

TRUE CONDENSER MICROPHONE (CARDIOID)

The MC 930 is a flexible true condenser microphone with switchable -15 dB attenuation and low-cut filter. If you appreciate the clear sound and high impulse fidelity of small-diaphragm condenser microphones, the MC 930 is the right choice for you.

The MC 930 covers a wide range of application scenarios in the studio and on stage due to its compact design and the authentic and detailed sound character, whereby all post-processing options are also open. Whether for acoustic guitar, piano, hihat, overheads, choir, orchestra, voice or solo instruments of any kind, there is almost no sound source where the MC 930 is not convincing.

For speech and vocal recordings from a short distance as well as for outdoor recordings, we recommend the WS 101 wind shield.
