First impression with beyerdynamic M88 N (C) serial number 42141


An amazing microphone. It has just arrived by DHL.


When I was a kid and even till very recently I didn't know this mic existed. Although it was seen at Live Aid with Phil Collins singing Agaist all Odds?


Big sound. Extended treble. No s problems. No p problems.


Smooth sound and frequency response. It has that kind of bigness, smoothness and naturalness of good omnidirectional moving coil microphones. It has not been directly compared yet to the other great directional mic, the AKG D25.


For close distance, ie less than 6in the Pleiades 130Ω,40mH gentle slope low cut filter was used.


Signal path:


male singing voice at 2 to 20in - beyerdynamic M88N(C) - Pleiades (130Ω,40mH) when needed - Sony TC-D5 Pro - Sennheiser HD580


It is now understood what is being said in so many forums; that this is what other mics should be if they were mics.



World class microphone
