Beyerdynamic M160 Double Ribbon Dynamic Microphone.

Description

Heres what Beyerdynamic say:

Beyerdynamic is one of few microphone manufacturers world-wide that still produce ribbon microphones. A classic one is the M 160, a dynamic double ribbon microphone. Featuring a hypercardioid polar pattern with a noise attenuation of 25 dB at 110, the M 160 is an outstanding microphone which is very effective for all types of remote and in-studio voice reproduction.

Double Ribbon Microphone

This microphone is no conventional microphone, but also happens to be a double ribbon microphone. Two overlaying, paper-thin ribbons ensure a high output level. As such, the M 160 is ideal for recording stringed instruments such as violins, violas, cellos and guitars as well as for guitar amps while still retaining delicate dynamics.
