APPLICATION
The M 130 is ideal for stereo, room and instrument
recordings and brings a popular and special ribbon
sound that is characterised by warmth and precision.
Depending on positioning and spatial situation, the
M 130 can be used for studio recordings of drums,
electric guitar amps, piano, acoustic guitars,
orchestras, choirs or for all kinds of atmospheric
recordings.
As a stereo microphone system, two M 130 can be used
to create a Blumlein stereo system for an excellent
sounding room recording. M/S recordings can be
made together with a hypercardioid or supercardioid
microphone such as the M 160 dynamic double-ribbon
microphone or the MC 950 true condenser microphone.
