BeyerDynamic MC-930 Does anything else exist but the next step up ?

DSatz:
If you're happy with your present microphones, that's great--keep them and count yourself lucky.

As a next step, you might consider adding microphones of a different directional pattern (omni? wide cardioid? supercardioid?) to your shelf so that you have a wider choice of recording methods for various situations. Or consider getting a figure-8 microphone that you could use together with one of your cardioids (or any other good microphone) for M/S stereo recording.

Or you could just continue to count yourself lucky, and resist the social pressure to always upgrade upgrade upgrade. When you know how to use a particular kind of microphone to best advantage, generally you will make better recordings with it than you would with any microphone that you're unfamiliar with, even if the unfamiliar microphone is a better product technically.

Pearl Clarity sdc's are nice

Why change? I run Beyerdynamic MCE86II shotguns and see no reason to upgrade or change. I use cards for smaller venues, but other than that, I like being a part of the elite cadre that is Beyerdynamic users.
