I've always loved a 441 on amps, but would love to pair an M201 with a 441 - since the 441 gets a smooth/fuller tone, the M201 would add a nice chime in the mix :)

[@jordanjames5619]

Or you could use the 421-n and get both in one perfect phase-aligned mic ;)

[@MichaelAlso]

Excellent comparison, thank you!

[@gibbyjam]

Nicely Done!

[@stubkar]

Sm7b acquitted itself nicely. What were your settings? Remember?
Beyer sounded awesome, btw.

[@bangdrums]

There's no eq on any of the mics but theres limiting on all of them.

[@h.c.7799]

The M201 catches most authentic sound. Others contribute to coloration which you might prefer or not

[@JulianFernandez]

nicely done. thanks!

[@bangdrums]

Glad you liked it!

[@TimMilliken]

Is that proximity effect exaggerating the lows on the md441?

[@TheChadPad]

I think the 441 could sound better with different mic settings
