Beyerdynamic M160 Ribbon Mic Review / Test (Compared to SM7b & AEA KU5a)

Today I review a double ribbon mic from Beyerdynamic, the M160. This is a warm and smooth sounding mic with a surprising amount of detail for a ribbon. The top end maintains a very articulate sound that can compliment an electric guitar, but really shines when capturing more intimate acoustic instruments. I also think it works well for spoken word and singing if you want to get a robust low end with a good amount of articulation in the top end.
