A strange a very interesting mic. It arrived 2 days ago.
It is very small and very heavy.
Proximity effect is so heavy as a ribbon figure of eight mic.
A very low inductance coil (Pleiades filter) connected in parallel with voice coil diminishes bass heaviness. The value of the indicator can be as low as 50mH. Mic can then be used at a few inch.
Signal path used:
Male singing voice for few inch - Beyer M61 - (47mH to 200mH) Pleiades filter to WE 1:2 transformer or BBC transformer with primary inductance of 140mH, for curing bass heaviness and stepping up to 800Ω - Sony TC-D5Pro - Sennehsier HD580
(Later addition: a Pleiades (130Ω,40mH) gentle slope low cut can be included right after the mic for a great natural sound while keeping the punch).
There is something very dynamic about Beyer mics. Dynamic comes from the Hellenic word δύναμη (pronounced dyname) meaning force. Possibly comes from the verb δύναμαι which means I am capable of, I can.
The aggressive, metallic, resonant sound of the mic somehow reminds Against all Odds - Phil Collins, Stepping Stone - Duffy, Castle in the Snow - Cadebostany, My Love - Kovacs.
Hmm
