The counterpart of the M160

• double ribbon microphone with classic figure-8 pattern
• as the M160 nearly unmodified manufacturing for more than 60 years
• minimum dimensions (only 5 inch long)
• equipped with the same output transformer (turns ratio of 1:30) and the same specially embossed ribbon (5 µm thick) as the M160
• fine resolution with a very good transient response
• uncoloured, natural sound
• ideal for stereo ribbon combinations: M/S-stereo with M160 (hypercardioid) and Blumlein array with two M130 possible
• matching stereo clips are included free of charge
• manufacturing period: since 1957

Favourite applications: M/S-stereo (with M160), Blumlein-stereo (2x M130); recording of instruments with more surround sound than with the M160; due to the figure-8 pattern well-suited for placement between toms, congas, background singers among others
