Try an M160, if you are presently recording with a single mic. This

I am curious why the M160 and not the M130, given that the latter has
a much flater frequency response, judging by the data sheet on the
Beyer page

/microphones/studio-microphones.html

The diagram of the M160 shows a bump in the high frequency range that
scares me (a brighter mic than the CMC 641 is the least thing I want).

Do the diagrams have any practical significance?

Thanks!


M160 is cardioid and M130 is Fig. 8. Either might work for you.

I often select an M160 when I am dealing with instruments that can be
overly bright when mic'd closely, such as banjo, mandolin, fiddle.

If you're in Germany try both. They are both good mics. Part of this
comes down to which pattern works better in your own recording room.
