Renowned and multiple award-winning, the M 160 has established itself as an essential reference among ribbon microphones. Its meticulous manual design and dual ribbon architecture give it a very neutral character, capable of capturing sound material with rare naturalness. It holds the place of a high-end classic, prized for its consistency and reliability both in the studio and live.
Sound engineers, producers, home studio users, and musicians will find in the M 160 an ideal ally for guitar amps (high SPL handling), subtle toms and overheads, finely detailed brass sections, strings with organic texture, as well as acoustic guitars. Paired with a windscreen, it also enhances vocals with a warm and timeless color. In combination with a figure-eight mic like the M 130, it enables highly precise M/S stereo recordings.
Unlike most ribbons, the M 160's hypercardioid pattern offers excellent off-axis rejection. When placed close to a guitar cabinet or in the heart of a drum kit, this sound field control simplifies EQ and reduces bleed.
The pure aluminum dual ribbon transducer combines fast transient response with natural silkiness. The result: tight lows, musical mids, and finely textured highs, perfect for sculpting a mix-ready sound.
Its wide frequency response from 40 to 18,000 Hz and ability to handle high SPL make it a particularly flexible microphone. The output signal is clean and easily workable, whether for direct capture or creative processing later.
