Second experience with a Beyer M61 microphone


This mic came today protected inside its tiny box. It seems mics that come with their factory box sound better as they have been protected from iron particles.


This baby mic sounds fantastic and big.


Signal path, setup:


male singing voice - Beyer M61 - Pleiades (130Ω,40mH) gentle slope LC filter - Western Electric 1:2 transformer - Sony TC-D5 Pro - Sennheiser HD580


It sound reasonant in a nice way and broader band than a previous M61 tested. The low end is huge. It has to be more than 2ft away for flat response? With the Pleiades filter a few inch is fine and big.


How would it sound with a Pleiades V6 mic booster amp operated with just a 1.5V battery and the 2DV4 Nuvistor electron tube? Low cut filter should not be needed as at such low anode current there is already some bass heaviness cut.
