Beyerdynamic M260
Ribbon Microphone with Built-in High Pass Filter, Hypercardioid

M260

The M 260 is used for vocals and micing instruments at broadcast, recording and film studios. Its flat frequency response and natural, warm 'ribbon' sonic profile make it a highly effective element of the digital recording process.

The hypercardioid polar pattern provides an extremely high gain-before-feedback and elimination of lateral noise (maximum at 115 degrees). The M 260 is equipped with a built-in high-pass-filter which compensates the close micing effect, when the microphone also features a high insensitivity towards magnetic stray fields and extreme temperatures. The rugged grille protects the microphone system against accidental hits and kicks.
