Stereo recording demands consistency, precision and microphones that translate space accurately. The beyerdynamic MC 930 stereo set matched pair true condenser microphones are designed for high-quality stereo capture using techniques such as XY and ORTF. Each microphone is carefully matched for frequency response and sensitivity, ensuring a balanced stereo image across acoustic instruments, piano, overheads and ensemble recordings. With a cardioid polar pattern and a 40Hz–20kHz frequency response, the pair captures detailed transients and natural tonal balance, while the compact design supports flexible placement in both studio and live environments.
Matched Pair Design Delivers Accurate Stereo Imaging
The MC 930 stereo set consists of two microphones selected and matched to ensure consistent response between channels. This precise matching supports stable stereo imaging, allowing engineers to capture depth and spatial detail without phase inconsistencies. Whether used in XY, ORTF or spaced pair configurations, the microphones maintain alignment across the stereo field, making them well suited for ensemble recordings, drum overheads and acoustic instruments where imaging accuracy is critical.
True Condenser Circuitry Captures Detail and Dynamic Range
Each microphone features a true condenser capsule with fast transient response, capturing articulation and nuance across a wide range of sources. With a sensitivity of 30mV/Pa (-30.5dBV) and a frequency range of 40Hz–20kHz, the set delivers clear output and full-range detail. The microphones handle dynamic sources up to 140dB SPL with the attenuation pad engaged, while maintaining low noise performance for quieter passages, supporting both subtle and high-energy recordings.
Switchable Pad and Low-Cut Filter Adapt to Recording Conditions
Integrated controls include a switchable attenuation pad and a low-cut filter at 250Hz, allowing users to manage signal levels and reduce unwanted low-frequency buildup. These features make it easier to adapt the microphones to louder sources or challenging acoustic environments. Powered by standard 11–52V phantom power and connected via XLR, the microphones integrate easily into professional recording and live sound systems.
Compact, Handmade Design Supports Flexible Studio Workflow
Handmade in Germany, the MC 930 stereo set features a compact, lightweight design that simplifies placement in multi-microphone setups. The included elastic suspensions and windshields help reduce handling noise and environmental interference, while the hard case provides protection during transport and storage. With consistent matched performance and practical accessories, the beyerdynamic MC 930 stereo set matched pair true condenser microphones provide a reliable solution for engineers seeking accurate stereo capture across a range of recording applications.
