I don't know if I'm the only one here but to me the SM-81 flavor on OH has a certain grainyness?...no matter what kit in any room.Iv'e been trying to love em on OH and saving my better mikes(km150's 414tlII's etc..) for other sources thinking I could get by or I wouldn't notice.The top end is anything but smooth.Iv'e heard less expensive Audio Technica small diaphrams sound much nicer to my ears.I'm gonna pull the sm-81's off the kit and try em on scooped metal guitar sounds.
