Beyerdynamic MC 930 Microphones (Stereo Set)

The Beyerdynamic MC930 Microphones are a matched set of small diaphragm condenser microphone which provide an enormous versatility due to its neutral sound and accurate design. Perfect for stereo recording of miking choirs, orchestras and solo instruments.

Caution: DO NOT buy the Beyerdynamic MC 930 if you dislike detail and clarity unlike most small diaphragm condenser microphones! Seriously...this is one serious performer with very nice off axis response and more detail than you may be used to. Overheads, choirs, room mic'ing, acoustic instruments, vocals...you name it and the MC930 delivers. Beyerdynamic is the "other" German mic company (that doesn't require the sale of your first born child!) with superior sound.

A flexible double act: The stereo set includes a matched pair of M 930 small membrane true condenser microphones. These microphones can be used for high-quality stereo recordings using the XY or ORTF techniques. Made by hand at the company headquarters in Heilbronn, Germany, the excellent craftsmanship of these microphones makes them reliable companions in the studio and live on stage.

A matched pair
At the end of the production process, the microphones are individually measured and then matched in pairs. A print-out of the measurement curves is included with your purchased stereo set.

Natural, authentic sound
The MC 930 true condenser microphone has a natural, balanced sound. Thanks to its detailed bass response and high-resolution trebles, the MC 930 is perfect for use with a wide range of different sound sources. Whether for acoustic guitars, piano, hi-hats, overhead, choirs, orchestras, vocals or solo instruments of all kinds – the MC 930 is impressive when used with almost any sound source.

As easy as flipping a switch
Thanks to its switchable attenuation (-15 dB), the MC 930 can also be used with loud instruments. Disruptive bass frequencies and low-mid frequencies that are caused, for example, by impact sounds or proximity effects, can be minimised by the switchable low-cut filter of 6 dB/octave at 250 Hz. This microphone works with 11–52 V phantom power.

Fast, faster, ​​​​​​​MC 930
The MC 930 includes a handmade true condenser capsule. The gold-vapourised diaphragm used in this microphone has excellent vibration and impulse behaviour. This makes signals sound natural and precise throughout the session. The excellent transient response allows percussive sounds to be reproduced extremely quickly.

Powerful for use with audio interfaces and mixing consoles
The MC 930 has one of the most powerful outputs (30 mV/Pa) among comparable microphones. This is a huge advantage, because it requires very little amplification.

A cardioid pattern with specific advantages
The MC 930 boasts an almost frequency-independent cardioid polar pattern. This means it prioritises sound from the front over sound from the sides. When it comes to sound from the back, the cardioid pattern offers the best possible attenuation. This means that this microphone is less susceptible to crosstalk, i.e. from other nearby sound sources. Thanks to all of these features, the MC 930 can be used in the studio as well as live on stage.

Quality Made In Germany
Handmade in Germany to a high quality standard, the MC 930 true condenser microphone is distinguished by the workmanship that beyerdynamic is known for. Acoustically relevant components such as the true condenser capsule, the system suspension and the counter electrode are all produced in-house. This unique process allows us to produce products of consistently high quality and makes each MC 930 one of a kind.
