Beyerdynamic MM 1 Measurement Microphone
Strictly Accurate
The MM 1 boasts impressively high measurement precision both live and in the studio. Beyerdynamic manufactures these microphones within an extremely narrow tolerance with a deviation of +/- 1.5 dB between 50 Hz and 16 kHz. This is made possible by their specialists checking the frequency response of each individual microphone by hand.
It's What's Inside That Counts
A high-quality back electret condenser capsule serves as pressure receiver in the MM 1. The microphone is diffuse field calibrated and demonstrates a linear frequency response at 90°. This makes it easy to measure studio spaces, for example, without the need for too much preparation.
An Unconditional Alternative
The MM 1 is anything but a one trick pony. It delivers good results as an unconventional alternative for instrument recordings perfect for spontaneously recording song ideas.
Made in Germany
Handmade at the company headquarters, the MM 1 stands for Beyerdynamic's high manufacturing quality. Measurement-relevant components such as the mounting board are manufactured in-house and individually calibrated.
Form Follows Function
The MM 1's shape was designed to deliver exact measurement results. Thanks to the narrow solid metal housing with recessed microphone capsule, the construction has very little impact on the sound field. This means that an increase in sound pressure at high frequencies can be largely avoided. The lightweight, compact microphone is also easy to position. This classic microphone now comes safely stored in a sturdy hard case.
Individual Calibration Data
As with all microphones in the M series, the MM 1 is measured at the end of the production process. In addition, upon request Beyerdynamic will provide the individual calibration data for 0° and 90° free-field measurement via E-Mail.
Durable Materials
These microphones are designed for daily use in professional conditions, which is why only durable materials are used in their construction. If the microphone nevertheless gets damaged, Beyerdynamic service policy means that they can replace almost every part.

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty
A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.
Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.
How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
- Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
- Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
- No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
- Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
- Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
- Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
- Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
- Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
- Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.
Purchasing additional years of coverage
Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.
If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:
- NEW products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- USED products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
- BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
