beyerdynamic M201 Dynamic Moving-Coil Microphone (hypercardioid)

As part of the M series, the M 201 embodies natural sound
reproduction like no other dynamic moving-coil microphone. It reproduces clear,
detailed sound, which is why many people use it as an alternative to a
condenser microphone while benefitting from the robustness of a dynamic sound
transducer. This unique combination, combined with the high-quality
craftsmanship typical of Beyerdynamic, makes the M 201 one of a kind on the
microphone scene.

Versatile for a Variety of Sources

The M 201 delivers a clear, detailed signal even at extremely high sound
pressures. Preferably used with snare drums and electric guitar amps, this
dynamic moving-coil microphone is also suitable for recording acoustic guitars
and brass instruments - in the studio as well as live on stage.

Authentic Sound

The M 201 dynamic moving-coil microphone delivers an impressively natural,
transparent sound across the entire frequency response of 40 to 18000 Hz. It
never puts its own stamp on the original signal, but instead captures it
authentically. In addition, the superb basic sound leaves all options open for
further processing. These features make the M 201 a must-have in every
demanding microphone setup.

An All-Rounder for Speech Recording

The M 201 has an unmistakable talent for recording speech recording and
podcasts. This is where the dynamic moving-coil microphones excellent polar
pattern proves advantageous, effectively muting interference. The largely
linear frequency response with a smooth treble boost ensures a balanced speech
signal, while the optional windshield will suppress plosives.

A Closer Look at Hypercardioid

The M 201 features a hypercardioid polar pattern. This has a number of
advantages. Priority is given to sound coming from the front, while most
signals from the sides and some from the back are reduced. This ensures
excellent channel separation. In addition, the M 201 is less prone to feedback,
making it suitable for use in noisy surroundings.

Quality Made in Germany

Handmade in Germany since day one, the M 201 boasts the typically high-quality
craftsmanship that has distinguished Beyerdynamic for decades. Acoustically
relevant components such as the diaphragm and microphone grille are not simply
bought in but intricately made in-house.KEY_TAB
This provides a unique quality standard that is reflected in the sound.

A Look Inside

The Hostaphan diaphragm, a wafer-thin foil with exceptionally low mass, has
excellent vibration behavior and is responsible for an impulse fidelity that is
high among dynamic moving-coil microphones. In addition, the M 201 has an
integrated hum compensation coil that minimizes electromagnetic interference.

Small but Impressive

The M 201 is a pencil microphone. This microphones compact dimensions and low
weight make it easy to position even in cramped conditions. In addition, its
solid metal housing provides robust protection for everyday use in the studio
or live on stage. This classic microphone now comes safely stored in a sturdy hard
case.
