    The Beyerdynamic - a powerful and dynamic microphone for drummers, guitarists, or any musician! This versatile microphone is part of the M series, which offers superior sound reproduction that is sure to please even the most discerning ear.

    Whether in the studio or on stage, the precise sound and linear frequency response of the M 201 result in a signal that consistently stands out in the mix and leaves all post-processing options open. The M 201‘s slim design also makes it easy to position the microphone, giving the users the best possible support in their search for the perfect sound.

    Due to its hypercardioid polar pattern and the hum-bucking coil, the M 201 is ideal to successfully avoid noise and feedback. In addition to this, crosstalk is reduced as best as possible. This is another reason why this microphone is a popular companion for drums. The M 201 is appreciated for the use with acoustic guitars because of its clear and detailed sound reproduction. The M 201 can also be used for vocals or speech.

    Beyerdynamic M 201 Dynamic Moving-Coil Microphone Features

    • Can be used for numerous sound sources
    • Ideal for snare drums, electric guitar amps and acoustic guitars
    • Exceptionally natural sound reproduction
    • High directionality
    • Handmade in Germany

    Authentic Sound

    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.

    The dynamic moving-coil microphone delivers an impressively natural, transparent sound across the entire frequency response of 40–18,000 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.

    Application

    Whether in the studio or on stage, the precise sound and linear frequency response of the M 201 result in a signal that consistently stands out in the mix and leaves all post-processing options open. The M 201‘s slim design also makes it easy to position the microphone, giving the users the best possible support in their search for the perfect sound. Due to its hypercardioid polar pattern and the hum-bucking coil, the M 201 is ideal to successfully avoid noise and feedback. In addition to this, crosstalk is reduced as best as possible. This is another reason why this microphone is a popular companion for drums. The M 201 is also appreciated for the use with acoustic guitars because of its clear and detailed sound reproduction.

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

    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 microphone’s 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.
