The satin nickel M 950 Studio Condenser Microphone with EA 93 Shockmount from Microtech Gefell is a wide-cardioid microphone that combines a large-diaphragm capsule with semi-conductor circuit technology. It can be used to capture audio in broadcast, project, home, and professional studios and is well suited for use on a wide range of sources including singers, speakers, keyboards, strings, wind instruments, and more.

The condenser microphone capsule delivers a smooth frequency response from 40 Hz to 20 kHz with a slight elevation from 7 to 11 kHz for additional presence. Its wide-cardioid polar pattern provides a forgiving pickup pattern allowing the mic to effectively capture sound from larger instruments and small ensembles. The transformerless circuit design provides for very-low self-noise for clean, distortion-free sound over a wide dynamic range. To reduce sensitivity to mechanical impact and structure borne noise, the microphone capsule and electronics are elastically suspended inside the compact metal housing. The included EA 93 shockmount helps to further isolate the mic from vibrations and handling noise.
