Beyerdynamic MC930MP Microphone

A matched set means these two microphones have been tested and selected for their near-identical frequency response and sensitivity. This is essential for stereo recording techniques, such as X/Y or ORTF, where you need balanced imaging and a consistent sound stage.

Yes, the MC 930 is capable of handling sound pressure levels up to 140 dB. If you are recording particularly loud sources, you can engage the switchable 15 dB pre-attenuation pad to prevent clipping at the microphone's output.

The switchable bass roll-off is designed to compensate for the proximity effect, which is the unnatural boost in low frequencies that occurs when a microphone is placed very close to a sound source. It helps keep your recordings clean and prevents the low end from becoming muddy.

While they are primarily designed for studio use, their rugged metal housing and cardioid polar pattern make them reliable for sound contracting and live stage applications. The cardioid pattern is particularly helpful in these settings as it rejects sound from the rear, which helps minimize feedback.

Yes, as true condenser microphones, the MC 930s require 11 to 52 volts of phantom power to function. Ensure your audio interface or mixing console can provide this power via the XLR connection.
