beyerdynamic M201TG Reviews

A quality mic especially for recording snare drums

The mic is well packed, well manufactured and stylish. It looks and feels very professional.

I have been using the Beyerdynamic M201TG as snare mic in my studio. Being a hypercardioid mic the M201TG has tight polar pattern meaning it won't catch other sound sources from the sides. This is a major problem when recording snare drums - the hihat usually leaks too much to snare track. The M201TG sorts that problem out better than the usual Shure SM57. It sounds also brighter without being harsh. I haven't spotted any exaggerated frequencies or sound problems. It just gives a good pro sound and with carefull mic placement no eq is needed. There is no hum or any noise. Its small size is a big plus!

If you want a better mic than the SM 57 with just bit more money, get this one!

Great mic!

This is my favourite snare mic. I prefer this microphone form shure sm57. It has smooth, warm frequency response. I like the fact it is hypercardioid.

It is one of the best dynamic microphone, you can use it almost everywhere. Also great for micing guitar cabinets, trumpets or other brass instruments.

nice snare mic , great hat mic / ride mic even overhead

does a great all round job on hats rides . even overheads

very focussed and nice spills that do make it in

really did like this on hats under the overheads .

also a nice change on guitar amps for dirt .

good well built mic - its a beyer - whats not to like ?

Great for Overheads and Flute

We're using these live as overheads, and in the studio as a second mic on flute. Lovely sound, and they feel very very well made. highly recommended. Not so heavy it might fall out of the clip, not so light you wonder if there's anything inside it!

Great dynamic mic

I bought this after an engineer used one on my Maccaferri style guitar at a gig. I was immediately impressed by its transparency, clarity and feedback rejection on what is a very resonant guitar. Since then I've been gigging with it for both acoustic and electric guitars.

We've also used several for mic-ing up toms on the latest RSVP Bhangra album with very satisfying results. It's a good all rounder with excellent build quality - think of it as an SM 57 with a heap more class and you won't go far wrong.
