4. Uputstvo za upotrebu

The Beyerdynamic M 160 is designed for straightforward operation, focusing on capturing high-fidelity audio. Follow these guidelines for best results:

• polarni uzorak: The M 160 features a hypercardioid polar pattern. This means it is most sensitive to sounds directly in front of it and offers excellent rejection of sounds from the sides and rear. Utilize this characteristic to minimize bleed from other instruments or ambient noise in your recording environment.
• Efekat blizine: Like most directional microphones, the M 160 exhibits a proximity effect. This means that as the microphone is moved closer to the sound source, the bass response increases. Experiment with microphone distance to achieve the desired tonal balance for your recording.
• Preporučene aplikacije:
  • Vokal: Provides a warm and detailed vocal sound.
  • Akustični instrumenti: Excellent for acoustic guitars, strings, and woodwinds, capturing their natural resonance.
  • gitara Amplifieri: Delivers a rich and full sound when close-miking guitar cabs.
