The M60 FET is a seriously impressive small-diaphragm mic – it’s got that classic Telefunken character but with a modern, focused sound. It’s a fantastic choice for acoustic instruments, drum overheads, or anything needing a bit of extra sparkle and detail. If you need a workhorse mic that sounds professional, this is a great option.
