Beyer M119 s/n 7071

Clearly one of the best if not the best moving coil omnidirectional microphone on the planet.


Signal path:


Male voice singing Ordinary Love - U2 - Beyer M119 7071 - (Western Electric 1:2 transformer if needed) - Sony TC-D5 Pro - Sennheiser HD580


Sounds corect to listener's brain without any EQ. Ie flat frequency response from simger's vocal chords to listener's brain. No Pleiades filter is needed.


Amazing signal to noise ratio.


Makes in direct comparison other world class moving coil mics including a ribbon one sound like a joke.


Gives them a run for the money.


Sends them for tea.


Sends them to the cleaners.


In the same league as Grampian DP4, DP6 and possibly better. Direct comparison not yet made.
