APPLICATION

The M 160 impresses with its flexible application
options . In addition to drum and amp miking, the
wide frequency response and fine-detailing sound
also comes into effect on acoustic guitars, brass
instruments and string instruments .
A special feature of the M 160 is its polar pattern . Due
to its hypercardioid polar pattern, which is unusual for
ribbon microphones, the M 160 is less susceptible to
ambient noise, as it reduces background noise by 25 dB
at 110° and also picks up less sound from behind . This
makes it ideal primarily for the studio, but also on stage .
Together with the M 130 double-ribbon microphone
(polar pattern: figure-eight), the M 160 can be used for
M/S miking .
