small diaphragm side address microphones

[ioaudio]

hi all,

just thought i write something after reading this forum from time to time.
i´m into building tube equipment here in austria, participating on some more technical fora around the net.
however, i´m also making & producing music, dealing with equipment on a user-basis - expect some more questions :-)
i feel that i can place side address microfones in a more convenient way, especially at the snare drum. i know of the josephson mic, which seems to have some really good reviews here and elsewhere - do you know of any other good side adress sdc? is there any tube side address sdc that you know of?

I 'just' bought an ATM450 to try on snare. Hopefully I'll get a chance in the next week or so. It looks good....ha!
