On stage or in the studio, the precise sound and linear frequency response of the Beyerdynamic M 201 produces 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.
 
Reference in terms of natural sound
The M 201 stands for natural sound reproduction like no other dynamic moving coil microphone. It transmits signals clearly and in detail, allowing it to be used as an alternative to a condenser microphone while benefiting from the robustness of a dynamic transducer. This combination, together with the high processing quality typical of Beyerdynamic, makes the M 201 a unique microphone.
 
Unadulterated sound
The dynamic moving coil microphone M 201 impresses with its natural and transparent sound across its entire transmission range of 40 - 18,000 Hz. It captures the original signal unadulterated and, thanks to its excellent basic sound, leaves all possibilities open for further processing. Thanks to these features, the M 201 is an important part of every sophisticated microphone setup.
 
Flexible on different sources
The M 201 delivers a clear and detailed signal even at extremely high sound pressures. The dynamic moving coil microphone is primarily used on snare drums and electric guitar amplifiers. It can also be used to record an acoustic guitar or brass instruments, both in the studio and live.
 
All-rounder for voice recording
The M 201 has great potential for voice recordings and podcast productions. This is where the dynamic moving coil microphone benefits from its excellent directivity: thanks to this, background noise is effectively attenuated. The largely linear frequency response with a gentle treble boost ensures a balanced speech signal. If necessary, the optionally available windscreen also suppresses plosive sounds.
 
In detail: hypercardioid
The M 201 is characterized by the hypercardioid polar pattern. While signals arriving from the side, but also some from behind, are reduced, sound arriving from the front is picked up preferentially. This results in the advantage of high channel separation. The M 201 is also suitable for noisy environments because it has little feedback.
