| M160 is one of the nicest sounding microphones of all time. With the Sank mod, it is unbelievable. |

| I love this mic. I had excellent results with my M160 on a Fender Twin reverb recently. The guitar player fell in love with this mic too. It's also very efficient on trumpet, saxophone, hihat and for some voices.

FWIW, Hendrix is reputed to have preferred the sound of an M160 on his Marshall cabs, and apparently recorded many of his best known tracks that way.  | |

| I used to use an M160 for guitar and it's wonderfully smooth. In fact, it's SO smooth that I always ended up boosting here and there until it ALMOST sounded like a 57. Now I just use a 57 - it's closer to what I'm expecting to hear in a mix, but the M160 is a glorious sound.

| Gear addict | Lovely mic! I find I can lift up the treble moderately on some sources and it takes more top in a very non offensive way |

| I love the M160. Great on electric guitar cabs. Smooth and you don't get the weird room reflections through the rear lob like FIG 8 ribbons can. Also recorded some alt/country acoustic guitar recently with one. very warm. I will never sell it, never.
