Beyer M610 Ribbon Mic

Archived from groups: rec.audio.pro (More info?)

M610 is not a ribbon. It's a moving coil dynamic.

On the other hand, the M160 is a ribbon, very well thought of provided the
low output isn't a problem, and only one digit-swapping typo from an M610.

That eBay listing was incorrect. It's a dynamic mic.

Persactly! I've even hear that some have used it as a boom mic for dialog. I
couldn't imaging that, given its low sensitivity. I tried it with mine and
had a nice chuckle. I wondered HOW LOUD you have to be to make that work.
