Used to mic Hendrix's guitar amp and for the vocals on Electric Ladyland, as stated by recording engineer Eddie Kramer in this November 2005 Sound on Sound interview.

When asked about the techniques used to record Hendrix's guitar, Eddie Kramer's response is concise and to the point. "I'd stick a bloody mic in front of it and hope for the best," he jokes. "Nah, generally speaking it was either a 67 or [a Beyer] M160 or a combination of both, which I still use today. It might be slightly different, of course, but the basic principle's the same — a ribbon and a condenser, along with compression and EQ and reverb. All that stuff was always added during recording." (...) Hendrix recorded all of his vocals for the album at the Record Plant, and as usual a Beyer M160 was the mic of choice while a three-sided screen provided him with the desired privacy. "He'd always face the other way," says Kramer. "He hated to be looked at. He was very shy about his vocals. The truth was, he had a great style and I loved his vocals, but he hated them. He was so embarrassed by them. 'Oh man, was that OK?' 'Yeah man, it's cool.' 'No, I've got to do another one.' 'OK.' Jimi was not a great vocalist in the classic sense, but his vocal style suited what he did to the nth degree. I mean, it was very emotional and very personal, and I can't think of anybody else doing what he did. He was eminently capable, and the singing was an integral part of what he was doing, because he would often take a guitar solo and sing the melody line in unison with that solo — which is an old jazz trick — and it was wonderful."

In this performance at BBC's Maida Vale Studios in 2018, Alex Turner can be seen using a vintage Beyerdynamic M 160 Dynamic Double Ribbon Microphone at 0:05 and throughout the rest of the performance. The microphone could also be seen for the duration of the set that Arctic Monkeys played at Maida Vale, however, the performance has since been removed from BBC iPlayer. A vintage Beyerdynamic M 160 Dynamic Double Ribbon Microphone can also be seen in the photo from the performance situated at the piano that Alex Turner is using.

"I use usually three microphones, on one cabinet and the way that they're placed is all properly in phase. And I'll use a 57, you know, [Sennheiser] 421 and maybe a Beyer 160. And they all have extremely different characters. And if you can properly blend these characteristics.."

In the Thomann's Guitars & Basses interview, Mick Thomson mentions using the Beyerdynamic M160 ribbon microphone to record his guitar in an isolation cabinet.

In his YouTube video titled "Best Microphones for Metal Guitar," Ola Englund discusses using the Beyerdynamic M160 Ribbon Microphone, highlighting its effectiveness in recording metal guitar tones.

Used for "When the Levee Breaks", as mentioned by sound engineer Andy Johns in this MusicRadar interview published October 31, 2013.

"I used two Beyerdynamic M160 microphones and I put a couple of limiters over the two mics and used a Binson Echorec echo device that Jimmy Page had bought. They were Italian-made and instead of tape they used a very thin steel drum.

"Tape would wear out and you'd have to keep replacing it. But this wafer-thin drum worked on the same principle as a wire recorder. It was magnetised and had various heads on it and there were different settings. They were very cool things!

"And so playing at that particular tempo on 'Levee the limiters had time to breathe and that's how Bonzo got that 'Ga Gack' sound because of the Binson. He wasn't playing that. It was the Binson that made him sound like that. I remember playing it back in the Stones' mobile truck and thinking, 'Bonzo's gotta f**king like this!' I had never heard anything like it and the drum sound was quite spectacular."

Frank Ocean utilized the Beyerdynamic M160 ribbon microphone as part of John Mayer's guitar sound chain in the studio, as detailed in the article "Frank Ocean In The Studio" on Dolphin Music.

In the EMusician article "Straight Shooter," James Murphy is mentioned using the Beyerdynamic M160 ribbon microphone.

In a Reverb interview video titled "How Patrick Carney Gets His Drum Sound," Patrick Carney's engineer, Marc Whitmore, confirms the use of a Beyerdynamic M 160 double ribbon microphone in the drum room at 4:23.

At 28:21 in the EarthQuakerDevices video, Oliver Ackermann picks up and identifies the microphone as the Beyerdynamic M160.

"Rjd2 keeps his literal mic setup close to his vest; but less is more is his message, typically employing a Heil PR40 for kick drum, with Beyer M160 and AKG C12 mics for the remaining set."
