[QUOTE="Ales Dravinec, post: 19106, member: 11"] Re: SM81 vs NT5 Close micing cymbals unfortunately eliminates NT5 due to its inability to cope with higher SPL. For the purpose SM81 is a better choice. There is, however NT5 'version' with pad which works perfectly. (Rode site is not responding, so I can't give a model name). (Edit : Site available !! It's NT55) Even for hi hat NT5 isn't the right choice ... I learned that the hard way :( SM81 is also the only Shure mic without a 'K' in the model number, that I remotely tolerate. Really good and not too expensive choice is Beyer's MC930. Credentials : I own and frequently use all 3 of the mentioned mics. Sometimes in large quantities. [/QUOTE]
