Talk about a specific sound! OK
forget all that talk about “dark ribbons” you hear, the M260 is brighter than
most small diaphragm condenser mics (yes I am serious). This mic has cut for
days, however being that it is a ribbon mic it’s not as annoying and tends to
stay fairly smooth. Still, high end is what this mic is all about.
Hypercardioid with a super tight pattern, there is a built in filter set at
200hZ that eliminates any real low end response. Already rolling your guitar
tracks off at 200 or higher in the mix, and want some cut? The M260 could be
the mic for you. On acoustic guitar it will give you all of the strum and pick
noise, and almost none of the body! Those are not negative comments, just stating
a fact that this is one thin and bright sounding mic (for a ribbon especially).
Conclusion: There are times when
that’s what you want and need, lots of cut without the body. The M260 delivers
it in droves!
