beyerdynamic M 130

It is something unique

This tiny mic is really wonderful. Gentle, warm sound, perfect for all needs. We mostly use it as a central microphone for 5 mic stereo recording.

Once we recorded the grand piano in a live performance, we forgot to turn on the phantom power for the main microphones. 2 compositions were recorded with just this one small mic. We thought what to do and decided to use a record. To avoid losing these compositions, we used a digital stereo process. If you want, you can listen to M130 sound:

best recommendations for this great mic.

Thank you.

Fantastic microphone

These things sound great and look super cute!

They are super light which is very handy if you use them as overheads, you can use a normal stand and they won't tip over.

They sound quite dark but not boomy at all.

Super small and super cool!

I like it a lot as a cymbal spot and on guitar amps. Really good on saxophones and for mid - side applications.

The slightly different frequency response of the two lobes can be an advantage or a problem depending on the application.
