Dynacord DD260 1960er (?) - black/gold

Dynacord DD 260 – Rare Vintage Ribbon Microphone by Beyerdynamic

Original Dynacord Version | Original Gold Microphone Basket | Made in Germany | 1960s

Offered for sale is a genuinely rare Dynacord DD 260 – a historic ribbon microphone from the golden era of German studio and broadcast engineering.

And this particular example has exactly the kind of visual detail that makes the DD 260 so appealing: its distinctive original gold-coloured microphone basket.

WHAT MAKES THE DD 260 SPECIAL

The DD 260 is closely related to the legendary Beyerdynamic M260. A documented Reverb example is explicitly described as a Beyerdynamic M260 manufactured for Dynacord and marked as a Dynacord DD260. This makes the DD 260 a particularly interesting variation for collectors of classic German ribbon microphones.

Historic Dynacord documentation lists the DD 260 as a studio-quality ribbon microphone, with a cardioid polar pattern, 50 Hz–18 kHz frequency range and 200-ohm impedance.

BEYERDYNAMIC TECHNOLOGY IN DYNACORD FORM

Its close relationship to the M260 makes the DD260 particularly interesting sonically. The ribbon principle provides the natural, controlled character associated with classic vintage ribbons, while the directional pattern makes it highly useful in the studio.

Particularly interesting for:

• Guitar amps
• Saxophone and brass
• Drums
• Overheads
• Percussion
• Vocals
• Acoustic instruments

A documented owner described the DD260 as particularly good on saxophone and on both acoustic and amplified guitar. The example was offered as fully working.

THE LOOK

The original gold-coloured microphone basket is an essential part of this DD260's character. Combined with the dark body and Dynacord branding, it creates the distinctive black-and-gold appearance that sets this version apart from standard Beyerdynamic M260 models.

A RARE PIECE OF GERMAN AUDIO HISTORY

The DD260 appears considerably less frequently than a standard M260. Its combination of Beyerdynamic heritage, Dynacord branding and distinctive appearance makes it particularly attractive to vintage collectors.

The DD260 was never a mass-market microphone. Anyone specifically looking for this rare Dynacord version has to wait until one actually appears.
