{"product_id":"bd730165-beyerdynamic-m-160-mk2-hypercardioid-double-ribbon-microphone","title":"Beyerdynamic M 160 MK2 Hypercardioid Double-Ribbon Microphone","description":"Dynamic double-band microphones are unique in sound, manufacturing technology, and history. A special feature of the M 160 is its directional characteristic. Thanks to its high cardioid characteristic, unusual for a ribbon mic, the M 160 reduces background noise by 25 dB at 110° and picks up less sound from behind, making it less susceptible to ambient noise.\n\n\n\nThis makes it particularly suitable for the studio as well as the stage. The M 160 can be used as an M\/S microphone in conjunction with the double ribbon microphone M 130 (directional pattern 8).\n\n\n\nThe manufacturing process of the M160 is so complex that the microphone has been handcrafted since 1957 by a small team of employees at beyerdynamic in Heilbronn.\n\n\n\nIn 2019, the M 160 was inducted into the NAMM TEC Awards Technology Hall of Fame.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eBalanced treble, high impulse fidelity \u0026amp; very good transient reproduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eIconic dynamic double-ribbon microphone with warm and silky sound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eExceptional on electric guitar amp, Hihat and overhead\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eHypercardioid polar pattern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eHandmade since 1957\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ciframe title=\"beyerdynamic | M 160 Dynamic Double-Ribbon Microphone (Hypercardioid) - Product Presentation\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TGXXw4ePQ4Q\" width=\"623\" height=\"350\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eTransducer type: Dynamic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eOperating principle: Pressure gradient\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eFrequency response: 40 - 18,000 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003ePolar pattern: Hypercardioid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eRear attenuation at 1 kHz: \u0026gt; 25 dB at 110°\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eSensitivity (0 dB = 1 V\/Pa): .1.0 mV\/Pa (= -60 dBV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eNominal impedance: 200 Ω\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eLoad impedance:  1000 Ω\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eDiaphragm: Pure aluminium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eCase\/finish: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eConnector: XLR, 3-pin, male\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Beyerdynamic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50859518755104,"sku":"BD730165","price":1499.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0953\/3793\/9232\/files\/BD730165_72b03501-f45e-4ba5-b2e1-05a383af1f46.png?v=1762317731","url":"https:\/\/megamusiconline.com.au\/products\/bd730165-beyerdynamic-m-160-mk2-hypercardioid-double-ribbon-microphone","provider":"Mega Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
