Beyer Snare Mic Choices...

[memriloc]

Heya all...Upgrading my mic locker at the moment and one of the things I'm grabbing is a new snare nic (can't stand the ol' friggen 57 on snare no longer)
So, I have narrowed it down to a Beyer M201-TG as I've used this before quite afew times and have loved it every time...BUT I was also considering the M422-TG as a cheaper alternitave ($375 and $199 Australian respectivly)

Just wanting anyone's thoughts on the latter mic?
Cheers, DOM!

The ATM23HE is also a well kept secret for snare.

The Beyer M201 is my favorite snare mic.

I use a Beyer M-69 all the time for snare.

They do the job, and you can get them fairly cheap used.

I recently got a Beyer M201 after reading tons of praise for it here, and I must say I agree that it's an excellent snare mic.
