Beyerdynamic M 130 Double Ribbon Microphone at a Glance:

• Figure-8 microphone with clear, uncolored sound 
• Ideal for Mid-Side recording when used with a cardioid microphone
• Outstanding for ambience recording

Figure-8 microphone with clear, uncolored sound
The Beyerdynamic M 130’s bi-directional figure-8 polar pattern effectively suppresses unwanted interference from the sides. The M 130’s balanced, uncolored sound can handle a wide variety of applications including background vocals overheads, toms, and more.

Ideal for Mid-Side recording
When used in conjunction with the hypercardioid M 160, the M 130 is ideal for creating an authentic stereo image through the use of the M-S (Mid-Side) technique. The M 130 delivers excellent M-S results when recording or broadcasting a true stereo image.

Outstanding for ambience recording
The M 130’s rugged design handles the demands of remote recording/broadcast sessions as easily as in-studio use. Used by itself, the M 130 allows the recording of background audience noise and concert hall “ambience” without unwanted resonances. In the studio the M 130 is effective with backing vocal groups, percussion and mounted toms. The M 130’s crisply articulated, uncolored sound is well-suited to such demanding audiophile applications as digital and direct-to-disc recording.
