GREAT NEWS ! ! !
Audio-Technica has just announced the return of the ATM25 ! And they're SILVER! And only $489.00 MSRP! I'll take 10 ! Those money-grubbin' bastards. LOL!

so it seems like people here really love this microphone - particularly on kick drum.

i have a beta52a and beta91 and really really like both of them. can anyone compare or contrast the ATM25 to either of the Shure mics for me?

i have an opportunity to get the ATM25 for $100 (or maybe less). is that a good deal? should i advance on it?

thanks in advance

I wonder if there is a correlation between our discussions of these and eBay prices. One of these went for $186.09 yesterday. Close to the top price for the mics that display on completed sales.

I assume that AT replaced this with the ATM250 and the stereo ATM250DE. Has anyone done a direct comparison between the old and the new?

Has anybody used Audio-Technica 's new 250DE kick mic? If so, how did it preform?(studio)

Hello,

I am looking for a nice dynamic for recording that will fit these roles:

1) Studio Voiceover
2) Kick/Bass cab
3) Intrument - Trumpet/Sax

I have a PreSonus Firepod for location work and a Firewire 410 for home use.

I listened to the Sennheiser. 421 and did not like it, so I came up with these three.

Hey folks. I can afford one of these and I'd like your opinions on which one I should spend my money on.

I'm recording a jazz kit. I've been using a Shure Beta52 but I don't like the tone. It's too "rock n' roll" sounding.

Thanks!
