The M69 is a hypercardioid dynamic microphone, suited to vocal or instrument reproduction in studio or live settings.

The current shipping model, the M 69 TG aka “tour group” model, differs from the original M69 aka “M 69 N(C)” in that its grille is reinforced for durability for on-stage applications.

Its hypercardioid pattern ensures high gain before feedback.

The microphone’s frequency response shows a classic “tailored” sound, with a broad presence peak (+6dB @ 4-5k).

The LF response changes with proximity; for example, the mic’s response is +10dB @ 150Hz at 2cm, but -2dB @ 150Hz at 1m.

In other words, to increase the low-frequency response, move the mic closer to the source.

The low-mass diaphragm is made of Hostaphan, a PET plastic film similar to Mylar.
