The BeyerDynamic M 69 TG is a dynamic microphone that is designed for use in the studio or for live shows. My experience with the M 69 TG is in the recording studio to record a variety of different applications. Let me start off by saying that I think BeyerDynamic does a great all around job with their microphones, as they are generally reliable and sound great. The M 69 TG in particular is a very impressive microphone for a few different reasons that I'll get into in the next section. In terms of characteristics, the mic will pick up sound in a hypercardioid pick up pattern, meaning that it has more sensitively in front of the microphone and less on the sides. This type of pattern can be useful in situations where you're looking to get a signal dead on and not too much sound directly around where the source of the sound is. The M 69 TG will pick up frequencies between 50 Hz and 16 kHz, which is adequate for the types of applications that I've been using it for. I've never seen a manual for this microphone, but a specs chart would be adequate for it.

OVERALL OPINION

For getting an up close and personal sound, the BeyerDynamic M 69 TG does a great job. It's perfect for recording electric guitar, a bass guitar amp or keyboard amp, drums like tom toms or kick, and even things like brass and vocals. It's really just a great all around sounding microphone for recording anything where you would want to capture it's signal directly on. The price definitely isn't unreasonable for a microphone for this caliber with this much versatility. So while it's accessible for home studio owners, it's really a professional's microphone in the end. I'd definitely encourage all studio owners out there to check out the BeyerDynamic M 69 TG to see if it's something you might want to add to your rig.
