Here’s what Beyerdynamic say:

Beyerdynamic is one of few microphone manufacturers world-wide that still produce ribbon microphones. A classic one is the M 160, a dynamic double ribbon microphone. Featuring a hypercardioid polar pattern with a noise attenuation of 25 dB at 110°, the M 160 is an outstanding microphone which is very effective for all types of remote and in-studio voice reproduction.

Double Ribbon Microphone

This microphone is no conventional microphone, but also happens to be a double ribbon microphone. Two overlaying, paper-thin ribbons ensure a high output level. As such, the M 160 is ideal for recording stringed instruments such as violins, violas, cellos and guitars as well as for guitar amps – while still retaining delicate dynamics.

Microphones

Microphones are essential tools for capturing sound in recording, broadcast, and live performance. Different microphone types are designed for different sources, environments, and uses, from studio vocals and instruments to live sound and field recording. Choosing the right microphone depends on factors such as sound source, room acoustics, sensitivity, and the character you want to capture.

Ribbon Microphones

Ribbon microphones are valued for their smooth, natural sound and warm tonal character. They are often used on vocals, brass, guitar amps, and room recordings, where a softer high end and rich midrange are desirable. Ribbon microphones are more delicate than other types and typically require careful handling, but they are prized in studio environments for their classic sound and depth.

Dynamic

Dynamic microphones are robust, reliable microphones designed to handle high sound pressure levels and demanding environments. They are commonly used for live vocals, guitar amplifiers, drums, and broadcast, where durability and controlled sound are important. Dynamic microphones do not require phantom power and perform well in loud settings.

Ribbon

Ribbon microphones are prized for their smooth, natural sound and warm tonal character. They are especially valued in studio recording for capturing sources without harshness, making them ideal for vocals, guitar amplifiers, brass, strings and drum overheads where detail and depth are needed without exaggerated high frequencies.

Using a thin metal ribbon suspended in a magnetic field, ribbon microphones respond quickly to transients and deliver a rich, balanced midrange. They are often chosen when a classic, vintage-style sound is desired, and they work particularly well in controlled studio environments where their sensitivity and tonal subtlety can be fully appreciated.
