DOUBLE RIBBON MICROPHONE
for miking string instruments and guitar amps

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.

APPLICATION
The M 160 is ideal for miking string instruments such as violins, violas, cellos and guitars as well as for guitar amps.

DOUBLE RIBBON MICROPHONE
Two overlaying, paper-thin ribbons ensure a high output level.

DIRECTED RIBBON
The M 160 is one of the few ribbon microphones with a hypercardioid polar pattern. Most ribbon microphones are figure-eight.

COMPACT AND RUGGED CONSTRUCTION
The compact and rugged construction allows the unobtrusive use on stage.
