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 http://www.beyerdynamic.de/en/broadc...crophones.html


The frequency response of the M130 and M160 in the far field are almost
completely the same. You'll be kind of hard-pressed to tell the
difference between them once the proximity effect ceases to be an issue.

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?


Try the mikes. Do it. You'll like them.
