Beyerdynamic M 201 Hypercardioid Dynamic Instrument Microphone (Used)

The M 201 stands for natural sound reproduction like no other dynamic moving coil microphone. It transmits signals clearly and in detail, allowing it to be used as an alternative to a condenser microphone while benefiting from the robustness of a dynamic transducer. This combination, together with the high processing quality typical of Beyerdynamic, makes the M 201 a unique microphone. The M 201 delivers a clear and detailed signal even at extremely high sound pressures. The dynamic moving coil microphone is primarily used on snare drums and electric guitar amplifiers. It can also be used to record an acoustic guitar or brass instruments, both in the studio and live. The M 201 is characterized by the hypercardioid polar pattern. While signals arriving from the side, but also some from behind, are reduced, sound arriving from the front is picked up preferentially. This results in the advantage of high channel separation. The M 201 is also suitable for noisy environments because it has little feedback.
