Product ReviewsBeyerdynamic M160 Dynamic Cable Professional Microphone

Great Mic for Recording Guitar Amps

Nice smooth, warm bottom end. I'm using this mic on my guitar amplifiers. I couple it with a Shure 57. Using the Shure with the Beyer gives me the best amplifier representation ever.

Highly recommended. Good value. Excellent sound.

Warm and present sound on the handful of sources I tried so far including acoustic and electric guitar, and light percussion.

Good solid build quality.

Beautiful utility mic.

Beautiful and smooth sounding mic. It sounds good on just about anything I put in front of it. Extremely directional as it should be.

Guitar Amps

This mic is my go to for loud guitar amps. Tames the mids, smooth sound, tours well. Beyerdynamic does it again.

An industry standard you've heard on all of your favorite records.

This is a classic microphone that Beyerdynamic has made continuously since they first introduced it. Hendrix'sguitars? Steve Windwood's vocals? Bonham's beat on When the Levee Breaks? All recorded with this mic. You can't go wrong. Every bit as classic as a Shure 57 or a Neumann U67. Everyone now knows that ribbons are wonderful at smoothing harsh sources...electric guitars, horns, cymbals....the wonderful Royer 121 started the trend back to ribbons....but for half the money of a 121 you can have the very mic, after the Rca 44's and 77' and Coles, that made ribbons famous in the first place.Read full review...

Drum overheads and guitar cabs.

Go-to mic for drum overheads and Glyn John's drum mic technique. Snare jumps out in a good way....also great paired up with the Beyer M201 dynamic mic on guitar cabs. Have a pair of these and would not mind another pair for the mic locker. Check out the recording techniques of people like Eddie Kramer and you will see this mic mentioned as indispensible.Read full review...

Money well spent

Just a beautiful little mic that has a smooth sound. The difference between it and the SM57 I was using before is striking. The M160 is fatter, cleaner, and much easier on the ears. Plus, it's a ribbon mic that can being put right up against the grill of a guitar amp. What's not to love?Read full review...

Great mic!

Using it mainly for a drum overhead and for m/s stereo w/130.
