beyerdynamicM 160 Double Ribbon Microphone

beyerdynamic M 160

An excellent choice for tracking stringed instruments of all kinds, the beyerdynamic M 160 Double Ribbon Microphone has a balanced frequency response with an emphasis on higher frequencies, adding sparkle to any instrument. The M 160 utilizes a double ribbon design, where two overlapping ribbons work together to produce a high-output level compared to most classic ribbon microphones, but still maintains the clarity and character associated with a ribbon mic.

With its hypercardioid polar pattern, the M 160 provides vivid clarity with instruments positioned directly in front of the microphone, and reduces noise by 25dB at 110 degrees. Ribbon mics like the M 160 typically sound great with classical string instruments, but will also work well with acoustic and electric guitars, woodwinds, brass, and even drums. For a versatile, modern ribbon microphone, look no further than the M 160 by beyerdynamic.
