Gefell Germany are pleased to announce the arrival of theMicrotech Gefell UM930 Multi-Pattern condenser microphone. Designed to meet the needs of professional and semi-pro users in professional music and broadcast applications, the UM930 expands on the current Gefell product line by adding one of its most versatile microphones yet.

This unique microphone features two large (1") diaphragms mounted on separate elements, allowing for individual control over the applied voltages. This allows for the 5 selectable polar patterns (omni, wide-cardioid, cardioid, hyper-cardioid, and figure-8) to be controlled with greater accuracy resulting in improved spatial imaging. The UM930 is self-muting when switching polar patterns, and is internally shock-mounted to dampen vibrations.

The UM930 is powered via standard 48V phantom power, utilizing an optical DC to DC converter which results in 135dB of dynamic range, an incredible maximum SPL rating of 142dB, and reduces overall self-noise to 7dB-A.
