I plan on buying several more of these mics. Thus far, the only thing keeping me from ordering another four of them is the fact that I can't afford to at the moment.
Sound
I really like this mic for snares. It has helped us get a sound that is much closer to what we are looking for. We were using the SM57. Our original reason for replacing the SM57 with the Beta98 was because of space issues. The size and mounting options for the Beta 98 make it much easier to mount when the drummer insists on setting up his drums in the most compact manner possible.
Manufacturer Support
Never had to make use of Shure support. In my opinion, support that never has to be used is the best support.
