M160 : Natural and balanced

5 years ago

I intended to use M160 primarily on vocals due to the flat frequency responce and not boosted highs as on many condenser microphones. The mike gives a natural representation of my voice (much less sibilance). Also I tried it on guitar amp and acoustitc guitar and like how it sounds, warm, rich and pleasant. Works very well in combo with SM57 too. The microphone is small, and well manifactured.

Because it is a dynamic microphone, I would say it has low output, but even at the max level of my Steinberg UR22 it is not noisy. So, a preamp is good to have around.

I recommend it to anyone looking for something different than standard production large condensors.
