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 eect on acouic guitars, brass
inruments and ring inruments.
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 udio, but also on age.
Together with the M 130 double-ribbon microphone
(polar pattern: figure-eight), the M 160 can be used for
M/S miking.
