Beyerdynamic is one of few microphone manufacturers world-wide that still produce ribbon microphones. A classic one is the M 160, a dynamic double ribbon microphone.
Featuring a hypercardioid polar pattern with a noise attenuation of 25 dB at 110°, the M 160 is an outstanding microphone which is very effective for all types of remote and in-studio voice reproduction. In the recording studio, the M 160 is recommended for miking string instruments such as violins, violas, cellos and for pianos, saxophones as well as for hi-hat, and toms. The non-glare black surface of the M 160 and its small dimension allow the unobtrusive use in TV or film studios. In conjunction with the M 130 dynamic double ribbon microphone the M 160 is ideal for stereo recordings in MS technique.
The Beyerdynamic M 160 is a hyper-cardioid dynamic ribbon microphone that effectively suppresses lateral sound and noise. The M 160 is an ideal microphone for studio and live applications, where focused pick up is necessary. The M 160 features a frequency response of 40Hz to 18kHz with a noise cancellation 25dB at 110 degrees. The result is a high quality directional studio microphone ideal for recording string instruments, pianos and over-heads on drum kits. The M 160 is also suitable for broadcast television and Film Studios, Violin, Viola, Cello, Zither, Dulcimer also ideally suited for upright and grand pianos and hi-hats on drum kits. |

Features & Benefits |
|
Dual Ribbon Element |
The M 160 features a dual ribbon element at two-thousandths of a millimeter thick, arranged one above the other just half a millimeter apart. The result is output quality and frequency response suitable for stringed instruments, piano, zithers and dulcimers. |
|
Hyper-Cardioid Pattern |
The hyper-cardioid polar pattern effectively minimizes reflective off-axis signal, reducing ambient noise and effectively captures instruments when recording. |
|
Compact Dimensions |
The M 160 has a chromium-plated enclosure permitting use in television and film studios. The compact, light weight yet durable construction allows easy mic placement when recording. |
