Where can I find one of these microphones online so that I may purchace. I find a bunch of reviews, and UK stores. I need something US.

Full Compass. Someone here said they got one new from them for $175.

This is where I got mine. It was $175 new. I don't think they have anymore listed but you can look

It says:

"This product has been superceded by a new product!
Try checking out the replacement by clicking here! M201TG"

Then when I click it, it gives me:

"Sorry but that product wasn't found.
Click here to search again."

I hate my life!

I found the M201TG on it, but it gives me $349 list. It requests you to call to get their price.

$178

Freaking sweet.

Now is the M201TG different from the M201NC?

I am looking to purchase this because it seems that everyone prefers this over the Shure SM57. Any other applications it's good for?

I'll be using mine on a 2x12 cab on Saturday. We'll see how that goes. I'm gonna try it on a screamer vocal too.

TG stands for Tour Group edition. I think it has internal shock dampening or something like that. Sonically it should be the same.

P.S. You really don't need to post in bold type.

Sorry. Better?

Very funny!

Think they have a tougher grille

Be sure to use a foam pop cap or shield, the M201 can sound great on vocals, but it wasn't designed for that, so it hasn't got any low cut off.

I'm really GASing for a m201, but I just blew a bunch of money on some Josephson C42's, so I'm trying to chill. Maybe the C42's will compensate for the SM57 I use on snare enough.

You can get a free catalog from Full Compass. I just recently ordered one, in fact. Looks like a really cool company. Not only do they carry the Beyerdynamic line (which is somewhat hard to find here in the States), they also carry the ADK line, which is another brand that I've been quite impressed with.

By the way, while checking out the dynamic mics of the Beyer brand, don't overlook the M88 (also in Tour Group edition), which Full Compas also carries. It not only works great on many vocals (It's Phil Collins' live vocal mic, in fact), but it's also really nice on many instruments. Guitar and bass amps, for example. It has a reputation as a KILLER bass drum mic. Plus, it has the added advantage of really freaking your drummer out when he sees you stick a "vocal mic" on his bass drum. ALmost worth the price of admission right there.
