Beyerdynamic M 130

Double Ribbon Microphone (Figure 8)

• Classic ribbon microphone offering two stacked ribbons ensuring pure, uncoloured sound
• Ideal companion for authentic recordings and studio applications
• The figure 8 polar pattern eliminates unwanted noises from the side
• Rugged design
• Made in Germany

Beyerdynamic is one of few microphone manufacturers world-wide that still produce ribbon microphones. One of them is the legendary M 130. The M 130's unique double ribbon element has a superb transient response, creating a highly detailed sound with unequalled accuracy and transparency.

FIGURE EIGHT POLAR PATTERN

 The bidirectional figure eight polar pattern effectively suppresses unwanted interference from the sides. The M 130's balanced, uncoloured sound handles a wide variety of applications. In conjunction with the hypercardioid M 160, the M 130 is ideal for creating an authentic stereo image through the use of the MS- (Mid-Side) technique. 

The M 130 gives excellent results when the Mid-Side technique is used to record or broadcast a true stereo image. Its rugged Design handles the demands of remote recording/broadcast sessions as easily as those of the studio. Alone, the M 130 allows the recording of background audience noise and concert hall 'ambience' without unwanted resonances. In the recording studio it is effective with backing vocal groups, percussion and mounted toms.
