beyerdynamic M 201 Handheld Dynamic Microphone

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The M 201 is made by hand in Germany and is characterized by high quality workmanship. Sound-relevant components such as the membrane or the microphone basket are produced at the beyerdynamic company location in Heilbronn. This unique quality standard is ultimately reflected in the sound.
