APPLICATIONS

The M 130’s unique double ribbon element has superb transient
response, creating a highly detailed sound with unequalled accuracy
and transparency. The bidirectional figure eight polar pattern
effectively suppresses unwanted interference from the sides. The
M 130’s balanced, uncoloured sound handles a wide variety of
applications. In conjunction with the hypercardioid M 160, the
M 130 is ideal for creating an authentic stereo image through the use
of the M-S (Mid-Side) technique.
The M 130 gives excellent results when the Mid-Side technique is
used to record or broadcast a true stereo image. Its rugged design
handles the demands of remote recording/broadcast sessions as
easily as those of the studio. Alone, the M 130 allows the recording
of background audience noise and concert hall “ambience” without
unwanted resonances. In the recording studio it is effective with
backing vocal groups, percussion and mounted toms. The M 130’s
crisply articulated, uncoloured sound is well suited to such demanding
audiophile applications as digital and direct-to-disc recording.
