Pros:
Small and discreet.
Accurate mid‑band cardioid polar response.
Smooth frequency response, tending towards brightness.

The MCE 93 were introduced in 1998 as general purpose end‑fire cardioid microphones for use in project studios and the like. Beyer describe the microphones as condensers but this is rather misleading: a true 'condenser' microphone requires external electrical polarisation of the capsule, but these mics are back‑electret types, where the capsule is polarised by a charge of static electricity during manufacture. A different beast entirely!
The internal head amplifier of the MCE93 will operate only with phantom power (12 to 48 Volts).

Technicalities

frequency response quoted as 30Hz to 20kHz
flat trace from 60Hz to 3kHz
At the lower extreme, there is a 1dB lift before the low‑frequency rolloff begins (measured at 1 metre) and at the top end is a clear presence lift peaking to 4dB at around 12kHz and reaching 4dB down by 20kHz (relative to the sensitivity at 1kHz).

The polar pattern is shown as being commendably tight, offering a perfect cardioid response from 250Hz to 4kHz, with a gentle opening up at the rear below 125Hz and side lobes appearing above 8kHz. These side lobes appear at 60, 100 and 135 degrees relative to the frontal axis and the first two amount to an approximate 2.5dB increase in sensitivity over the mid frequencies. However, the rear lobes are at least 5dB more sensitive than the mid‑band cardioid response, making the pattern reminiscent of a hypercardioid in many ways.

Uutput at 10mV/Pa and can accommodate a maximum sound pressure level of 139dB (there is no provision for a pre‑attenuator before the head amplifier). The self‑noise is equivalent to an A‑weighted sound pressure level of 16dB, which is quite respectable for a mic of this type.

Listening

The first thing to strike me about these microphones was their susceptibility to popping and wind noise with speech and vocals. Beyer do not supply a windshield as standard, but I think perhaps they should! I also found the shockmounting arrangement rather ineffective — even very modest tapping on the microphone stand was picked up by the microphone.

The microphones provided a crisp, clear rendition of the acoustic source, tending towards brightness.
Very effective on guitars and acoustic basses, as well as woodwind instruments.
