The Beyerdynamic M 260 is a ribbon microphone with built-in high-pass-filter used for vocals and miking instruments at broadcast, recording and film studios.
Its flat frequency response and natural, warm "ribbon" sonic profile make it a highly effective element of the digital recording process.
The hypercardioid polar pattern provides an extremely high gain-before-feedback and elimination of lateral noise (maximum at 115°). The M 260 is equipped with a built-in high-pass-filter which compensates the close miking effect, when the microphone is applied very close to an instrument. The microphone also features a high insensitivity towards magnetic stray fields and extreme temperatures. The rugged grille protects the microphone system against accidental hits and kicks.
