I just bought a pair of Beta 181's for my live sound rig. I'm sure they would sound fantastic for live 2 track recordings. I'd love to hear a recording if anyone has one.

Sexy!
And the mics are cute too.

Bump. Anyone here ever use this relatively small, inexpensive fig-8?
I'm curious about it as M/S Side channel microphone.

Doesn't look too promising based on this: http://recordinghacks.com/microphones/Shure/Beta-181

Thanks. Low sensitivity, ridiculously high max SPL, relatively high self-noise.
Seems well suited as a drum/close-instrument mic, but maybe not so much for us. Unfortunate as there are not a lot of options this pattern/size/price category, which is why this one caught my attention.
