Beyer ribbons rock. No experience here with the 160, but I own the Beyer 500n, which is a ribbon mic designed for vocals (I think Frank Sinatra used this mic), and it's really sweet. Works wonders on thickening nasally voices. I sometimes use it in conjunction with an MXL V77.

Is the M160 a step up from the M130? I've been thinking about an M130, it's in my price range new.... How is the M160 different from that?

 

[Tonio]

Well, the M160 is hypercardiod, and the M130 is figure 8, together is will be M/S heaven.

M160 was used for Led Zeppelin's When the Levee break -drums. Jumi Hendrix on the cab.

Not that I'll be using it for the above.

Congrats Tonio. I love mine... it's a great mic with a very sweet detailed midrange and rich low end. What pre are you going to use with it?
