Beyerdynamic M 130

Beyerdynamic is one of the few microphone manufacturers worldwide that still produces ribbon microphones. One of them is the legendary BeyerDynamic M 130 . The unique double ribbon element of the M 130 has an excellent transient response, creating a very detailed sound with an unparalleled accuracy and transparency.

The bidirectional Figure 8 Polar pattern effectively suppresses unwanted interference of the sides. The balanced, uncoloured sound of the M 130 is suitable for a wide range of applications. In combination with the hypercardioid M 160, the M 130 is ideal for creating an authentic stereo image through the use of the MS (mid-side) technique.
The M 130 gives excellent results when the mid-side technology is used To record or broadcast a real stereo image. The robust design can handle the requirements of recording/broadcast sessions remotely as easily as those of the studio. With the M 130 alone, background sounds of the public and the 'ambiance' of a concert hall can be recorded without unwanted resonances. In the recording studio it is effective with background vocal groups, percussion and mounted Toms.
