Order # 406.910

FEATURES TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

• Hypercardioid polar pattern
• Clarity, neutrality and superior intelligibility
• Low-mass moving coil transducer
• Rugged construction
• Integrated hum-buck coil
APPLICATIONS
The M 201’s unique construction reduces handling noise to a
minimum, giving excellent results as an audience response micro-
phone 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.
