Another classic from beyerdynamic, the M201 microphone has the unique ability of being able to work with almost all sound sources and is effective when working at close proximity or at a distance where its directional characteristic really comes into its own.

The M 201’s unique construction reduces handling noise to a minimum, giving excellent results as an audience response microphone in TV studios and for location production of vocals and sound effects. Its uniform response and small size make it especially effective for recording and reinforcing snare drums, hi-hats, rack toms and percussion. It also works well with banjos and acoustic guitars.
