3. סעטאַפּ
- מאַונטינג די מיקראָפאָן: Attach the supplied MA-CL 25 microphone clamp to a suitable microphone stand. Securely insert the Beyerdynamic M 160 into the clamp.
- פֿאַרבינדן זיך צו אַודיאָ צובינד/מיקסער: Connect a standard XLR cable (not included) to the XLR output of the M 160. Connect the other end of the XLR cable to an available microphone input on your audio interface or mixer.
- פאַנטאָם מאַכט וואָרענען: The Beyerdynamic M 160 is a passive ribbon microphone and does NOT require phantom power (P48). Applying phantom power to this microphone can potentially damage its delicate ribbon element. Ensure phantom power is switched OFF on the input channel before connecting the M 160.
- פּאַזישאַנינג: Position the microphone appropriately for your sound source. The hypercardioid pattern is directional, so aim the front of the microphone (where the Beyerdynamic logo is visible on the grille) directly at the sound source for optimal pickup and off-axis rejection.

4. אַפּערייטינג ינסטרוקטיאָנס
The Beyerdynamic M 160 is designed for straightforward operation, focusing on capturing high-fidelity audio. Follow these guidelines for best results:
- פּאָליאַר מוסטער: The M 160 features a hypercardioid polar pattern. This means it is most sensitive to sounds directly in front of it and offers excellent rejection of sounds from the sides and rear. Utilize this characteristic to minimize bleed from other instruments or ambient noise in your recording environment.
- פּראַקסימאַטי ווירקונג: Like most directional microphones, the M 160 exhibits a proximity effect. This means that as the microphone is moved closer to the sound source, the bass response increases. Experiment with microphone distance to achieve the desired tonal balance for your recording.
- רעקאַמענדיד אַפּפּליקאַטיאָנס:
- וואָקאַלס: Provides a warm and detailed vocal sound.
- אַקוסטישע אינסטרומענטן: Excellent for acoustic guitars, strings, and woodwinds, capturing their natural resonance.
- גיטאַרע Ampליפערז: Delivers a rich and full sound when close-miking guitar cabs.
- דראַמז: Ideal for drum overheads, hi-hats, and snare drums, offering a smooth high-end and solid transients.
- געווינען Stagינג: Adjust the gain on your audio interface or mixer to achieve a healthy signal level without clipping. Ribbon microphones typically have a lower output than condenser microphones, so you may need to use more gain.

5. וישאַלט
Proper care will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Beyerdynamic M 160 microphone:
- סטאָרידזש: Always store the microphone in its supplied protective case when not in use. This protects the delicate ribbon element from dust, moisture, and physical shock.
- האַנדלינג: Handle the microphone with care. Avoid dropping it or subjecting it to strong vibrations, as this can damage the ribbon.
- רייניקונג: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the microphone. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish or internal components.
- נעץ: Keep the microphone away from moisture and extreme temperature changes.
- פאַנטאָם מאַכט: As reiterated in the setup section, never apply phantom power to the M 160.
