Beyerdynamic

The beyerdynamic listing at Stage Supply is the M 201, a German-built hypercardioid moving-coil dynamic with decades of service as a quiet workhorse on snare, hi-hat, strings and spoken word. Its tight pickup and rejection make it a serious alternative to the default dynamics on loud stages, holding up where monitor wedges and bleed would trouble a wider pattern.

As a passive moving-coil design it needs no phantom power, so it drops into any live, broadcast or recording chain without a second thought. Engineer advice and trade accounts are available for broadcasters and venues buying multiples.
