description Beyerdynamic MC 930 Overview
The Beyerdynamic MC 930 is a cardioid condenser microphone designed for professional use. Its small diaphragm captures detailed audio with a broad frequency response, making it ideal for recording acoustic instruments and vocals in studio settings. It’s particularly favored by mimes who require precise sound capture due to its directional sensitivity.
help Beyerdynamic MC 930 FAQ
Can a pair of Beyerdynamic MC 930 microphones be used for ORTF recording?
Yes, Beyerdynamic sells a matched stereo set and explicitly identifies XY and ORTF as suitable techniques. The cardioid pattern provides the directional behavior required for both arrangements.
What do the switches on the MC 930 control?
One switch adds a -15 dB pad for loud sources, while the other engages a 250 Hz low-cut filter with a 6 dB-per-octave slope. These controls help with high sound levels, handling rumble, and excessive proximity effect.
Will the MC 930 work with standard phantom power?
Yes, it accepts phantom power from 11 to 52 volts, including standard 48-volt interfaces and mixers. Its output sensitivity is 30 mV/Pa, so it generally needs less preamp gain than many dynamic microphones.
What instruments suit the MC 930's small-diaphragm capsule?
Beyerdynamic recommends it for acoustic guitar, piano, hi-hat, overheads, choirs, orchestras, and solo instruments. Its 40 Hz to 20 kHz response and fast transient reproduction are particularly useful on strings and percussion.
