M201TG : Versatile dynamic microphone

The sound colour of this microphone is pleasing. Off axis response appears relatively neutral - I do not hear congestion around the microphone. The sound is "up front" - my particular M201TG is mid forward.

I primarily use this on the snare drum. The microphone comes with a frequency response graph particular to your microphone. I have not used another M201 so I cannot compare the consistency between them.

The body is solid and I am confident with the build of the microphone: if a drummer accidentally hits it, I think they may break the tip of their stick.

My M201TG came with a pop filter, zip case bag, microphone clip, manual, individual frequency response graph, all enclosed within a cardboard box. It has worked great on some sources, good on most sources, and so far, it has never been outright wrong on any source.
