M 201 — Dynamic Moving-Coil Microphone
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 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 .
