EMC920 Multi Pattern Recording Large Diaphragm Condenser Studio Microphone Blue

The EMB Professional EMC920B is a wired large-diaphragm condenser microphone designed for recording vocals and instruments. Its cardioid, unidirectional pickup pattern focuses on sound arriving from the front while helping reduce pickup from the sides and rear. It is suited to studio recording, broadcast, TV-station, and stage-oriented applications that use a standard XLR microphone connection.

This microphone is intended for creators who need a dedicated condenser microphone for voice, acoustic instruments, percussion, or amplified sources. Its 30 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response covers a broad recording range, while the specified -38 dB sensitivity supports detailed signal capture. The EMC920B requires 48 V phantom power from a compatible mixer, audio interface, or microphone preamp.

The EMC920B has a specified maximum input SPL of 135 dB and a 140 dB dynamic range. These ratings make it appropriate for sources that can produce higher sound levels when gain is set correctly. A specified 76 dB signal-to-noise ratio and 18 dB(A) equivalent noise level describe its noise-performance characteristics.

On-microphone controls include low-cut filtering, high-frequency adjustment, low-frequency adjustment, and sensitivity adjustment. These controls provide practical ways to tailor the microphone's output before further processing in an interface, mixer, or recording system. A power indicator light provides visual confirmation of phantom-power operation.

The EMC920B can serve as a straightforward front end for an XLR-based recording setup. Pair it with a phantom-power-equipped interface or mixer, an appropriate XLR cable, monitoring headphones or speakers, and recording software as needed. The included shock mount and wind cover help prepare the microphone for typical vocal and instrument recording setups.

Key Features

• Cardioid Pickup Pattern: Focuses on front-facing sound sources.
• 48 V Phantom Power: Works with compatible interfaces and mixers.
• 30 Hz–20 kHz Response: Covers a broad recording frequency range.
• On-Microphone Adjustments: Provides low-cut, frequency, and sensitivity controls.
• 135 dB Maximum SPL: Handles higher-level sound sources when properly set.

Design & Installation

The EMC920B uses a zinc-alloy body with a reinforced metal grille. Its large-diaphragm condenser design, XLR 3-pin connection, and integrated power indicator support use in a conventional wired recording chain. The blue finish identifies this EMC920B version.

Mount the microphone in the included shock mount on a compatible microphone stand or boom arm, then connect it with a 3-pin XLR cable to equipment that supplies 48 V phantom power. Position the front of the cardioid capsule toward the intended voice or instrument, use the included wind cover where appropriate, and adjust the low-cut, frequency, and sensitivity controls to suit the source. An XLR cable and phantom-power-capable audio interface, mixer, or preamp are required separately unless supplied with the rest of the recording system.
