𧡠⦠and the winner isβ¦
I just quickly hooked these up to some #RME #OctaMic2 and talked into them while listening via headphones.
I'm not sure if I could tell the difference in an A/B blind test between the #Beyerdynamic #m201 and the #DSaudioservice #Addy2.
The Addy2 however has an integrated pop filter, while the M201 doesn't even come with a separate one.
Both mics are made in Germany. The Addy2 is handmade by #DieterSchoepf and more expensive. It provides a little higher output.
Off-axis rejection feels quite similar, and after all this is for me the most prominent reason to go for a #DynamicMic instead of a #CondenserMic: The stronger rejection of higher frequencies off-axis.
I need to check #recording some instruments flosting around here.
After this first quick test I'd say the Addy2 is more flexible because it is explicitely designed for vocals *and* instruments, while the M201 is instrument-only.

I ordered these capsule mounts from AliExpress for a great price, and the curve is designed to work with these capsules. But when I opened up the capsule and test fit it one of the screw mounting holes didn't line up, so this might not work out after all.
Hopefully they'll work for something.
The price was right so no great loss, I suppose.
Cool, I ordered some nice but inexpensive capsule mounts from AliExpress and they have arrived. Can't wait to build some mics with this. Maybe even sell some.
AUDIO PET PEEVE:
Youtubers and others who have side-address microphones, and talk into the top or the end like an SM57. I'm seeing one woman doing this, and because she has no idea where to speak into her mic, it's actually picking up more room reflections of her voice than her ACTUAL on-axis voice.
SO FUCKING ANNOYING.

Iβll be reviewing some sE Electronics microphones soon on my YouTube channel and shot some b-roll today. Hereβs a screen grab of the X1A.
Pro tip: shoot your glamorous b-roll footage as soon as you take things out of the box. BEFORE you get dust and fingerprints all over things!
