The M 201's slim design allows for easy microphone placement, providing maximum support to users in finding their perfect sound. With its hypercardioid characteristics and hum-bucking coil, the M 201 is perfect for avoiding background noise and feedback. Ideal for recording snare drums and electric guitar amplifiers, the M 201 makes a great impression on a variety of signal sources. The high impulse fidelity is remarkable for a dynamic microphone. Thanks to its hypercardioid properties, the M 201 also allows for high channel separation. It also reduces crosstalk as much as possible. This is another reason why this mic is a popular drumming companion. When used with acoustic guitars, the M 201 is praised for its clear and detailed sound reproduction. Additionally, the M 201 can be used for singing and speech. Produced at Beyerdynamic in Heilbronn, Germany, since 1973.
