Topic: Beyer 600's (beyerdynamics)

Anyone ever heard of these?
I have a master recording I patched with my pmd430 at a Dead show in tempe 12-09-90 out of a guy, and my label says Nak 300's and beyer 600's.
I googled beyer 600 and got a music stand with a round bottom.

Not sure if beyer 600's was a older discontinued mic or if the guy was just telling me what kind of stand he had his Nak's mounted on.
To be honest I was so high at those shows, I have no idea if he had 2 or 4 mics    
I am transferring this to Digital and saw what I had labeled on there.

very likely it was a beyer m69 as those were used quite a bit in the ole dead taping days and just a mislabel by whoever wrote the source.  Or, a beyer 160 as those were used as well.  The 160 was a ribbon (and a mighty fine sounding ribbon at that) and the m69 is a hypercardiod dynamic.  I own one of these and lusting for more.  Sound great in live sound apps.

well its my handwriting  , mislabeled, hmm, here is a snapshot of my cassette label:


edit: maybe either of them. the quality is really really clear and clean. I have no way really to tell.

maybe you wrote it down wrong?  Since the source looks to be a 3 mic mix, it is also possible it was a beyer 101, which is an omni, and would/could be used as a mid if the naks were cp1 caps.  Or beyer 201's with a nak cp2 as the mid.

I'm kinda a beyer aficianado and don't remember there ever being a 600 (though I could be wrong).  My recollection of beyer mics was cross referenced with this info, http://www.microphone-data.com/results.asp  You have to log in to this site but has plenty of good info on mics and models.

i'm going with m69, misprinted.
they were failry common in the '80's/'90's.

there is a nice sounding board of this show, fwiw.

thanks for all the input. If I recall the taper was from the bay area. I got some cal expo/shoreline shows from him the following summer, but I have nothing else to go by.
