Product descriptions
M 70 PRO X
Scope of delivery
• 1x M 70 PRO X microphone
• Elastic suspension
• Pop filter
• Protective bag
Product overview
Applications
The M 70 PRO X dynamic microphone with extended and balanced frequency
response has been designed for high-quality recording of speech, vocals and
instruments. Unwanted sound waves are effectively suppressed by the pronounced
cardioid characteristic, and the precisely tuned proximity effect guarantees
consistent sound clarity. An extended frequency response provides a
differentiated and high-resolution sound image.
The robust design of the M 70 PRO X ensures durability. The integrated elastic
system suspension protects the microphone against structure-borne noise, and
the pop filter supplied largely suppresses plosive sounds.
The M 70 PRO X is particularly suitable for the following sources:
• Speech for broadcast applications (radio, podcast, streaming)
• Vocals (rock, pop music)
• Guitar and bass amps

Scope of delivery
• 1x M 90 PRO X microphone
• Elastic suspension
• Pop filter
• Protective bag
Product overview
Applications
With its 34-mm true condenser capsule, the M 90 PRO X condenser microphone has
been specially developed for high-quality recording of vocals and instruments
but is also suitable for the natural-sounding recording of speech during
broadcasts. While unwanted sound waves are suppressed effectively by the
pronounced cardioid characteristic, the low-noise circuit specially developed
by beyerdynamic ensures that the electrical signals are processed to the
highest standard. The integrated elastic system suspension protects the
microphone against structure-borne noise, and the pop filter supplied largely
suppresses plosive sounds.
The M 90 PRO X is particularly suitable for the following sources:
• Vocals
• Acoustic guitar
• Piano
• Strings
• Speech for broadcast applications
• Universal use (percussion, room miking, choir and orchestra)

Installation and commissioning
Attaching the microphone
1. Unscrew the mounting nut from the microphone thread.
2. Insert the microphone into the spider with the bottom side first.
3. Tighten the mounting nut on the thread.
4. Attach the microphone to the stand with the stand connector.
5. Attach the microphone to the stand with the stand connector.
Connecting the microphone
• The M 70 PRO X has a 3-pin XLR connector. It can be connected to any
microphone input with a suitable microphone cable.
• The M 90 PRO X has a 3-pin XLR connector. It can be connected to any
microphone input with phantom power (24–52V) with a suitable microphone cable.
You therefore need to activate the phantom power.
Aligning the microphone
- Make sure that the stand used and the microphone mounted on it are stable.
- Position the microphone so that the speech direction is opposite that of the source of interference to achieve the best possible noise suppression.
Disposal
At the end of its life, this product should not be disposed of with normal
