Today I review a double ribbon mic from Beyerdynamic, the M160. This is a warm and smooth sounding mic with a surprising amount of detail for a ribbon. The top end maintains a very articulate sound that can compliment an electric guitar, but really shines when capturing more intimate acoustic instruments. I also think it works well for spoken word and singing if you want to get a robust low end with a good amount of articulation in the top end. <br /><br />HQ Audio Of Review: <a href="https://podcastage.com/rev/m160" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://podcastage.com/rev/m160</a><br /><br />Buy the Beyerdynamic M160<br />Amazon: <a href="https://geni.us/m160" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://geni.us/m160</a><br />Sweetwater: <a href="https://imp.i114863.net/W1W6X" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://imp.i114863.net/W1W6X</a><br /><br />Buy the Pop Filter Used (Stedman Proscreen 101) <br />Amazon: <a href="https://geni.us/ps101" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://geni.us/ps101</a><br /><br />Buy the Focusrite 2i2 (3rd Gen)- Same Performance as 18i20 (Affiliate Link)<br />Amazon: <a href="https://geni.us/2i32rd" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://geni.us/2i32rd</a><br />Sweetwater: <a href="https://imp.i114863.net/k6g4d" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://imp.i114863.net/k6g4d</a><br /><br />00:00 - Intro / Price / Disclaimer <br />00:19 - Setup<br />00:37 - What’s in the Box<br />01:03 - Build Quality / Walkthrough<br />01:30 - Specifications<br />01:45 - Polar Pattern Test (Tone / Rotation)<br />02:10 - Plosive Test<br />02:30 - Distance Test / Proximity Effect Test<br />02:52 - Background Noise Test (Keyboard Test)<br />03:09 - Untreated Room Test<br />03:22 - Microphone Bump Rejection Test <br />03:42 - Mic Resonance Tap Test<br />04:06 - Beyerdynamic M201TG Comparison<br />04:36 - Shure SM7b Comparison<br />05:09 - AEA KU5a Comparison<br />06:05 - Music Test<br />07:09 - Pros & Cons<br />08:07 - Overall Thoughts<br />10:33 - Recommendation<br />11:19 - Outro<br /><br />Subscribe For More Videos: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/podcastage?sub_confirmation=1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/podcastage?sub_confirmation=1</a><br />Become a Member: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvOU-zTlankT-JjN3ZzvuKA/join" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvOU-zTlankT-JjN3ZzvuKA/join</a><br /><br />My YouTube Setup: <a href="https://podcastage.com/studio" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://podcastage.com/studio</a><br />My Favorite XLR Mics: <a href="https://podcastage.com/rev/favxlr" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://podcastage.com/rev/favxlr</a><br />My Favorite USB Mics: <a href="https://podcastage.com/rev/favusb" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://podcastage.com/rev/favusb</a><br /><br />Check the Frequently Asked Questions: <a href="https://podcastage.com/faq" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://podcastage.com/faq</a><br />Vote For What You Want Reviewed: <a href="https://podcastage.com/vote" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://podcastage.com/vote</a><br /><br />NOTE (FULL DISCLOSURE): If you purchase an item using my amazon link, it provides me a small referral fee.
