so, I thought I understood polar pattern diagrams pretty well and then I was looking at the diagram for one of my mics - beyerdynamic 736pv http://www.coutant.org/beyerpdf/mc736-737.pdf - it's not the clearest image, but it's something to use as an example. anyway, from what I'm seeing on this diagram it seems the 'sweet spot' is between 330 and 0 degrees. so my confusion is this - if the 'sweet spot' is slightly off axis (not 0 degrees) but seems to fall off as you get to 30 degrees does that mean that it's more important to pay attention to how you mount the mic (top/bottom) than a mic like the schoeps cmit5u which has a diagram showing the patern equal at 330 and 30 and pretty straight on axis at 0 degrees? of course this is all based on my previous understanding that 0 degrees on the diagram would be you looking directly down the barrel of the mic. (which could be completely off, I suppose)

Hi all, I haven't found much info on this mic i have. It's a Beyerdynamic MC837 long shotgun, got it used on eBay about a year ago and have been using it for exteriors on indie shorts in NYC. I did a comparitive side-by-side with the Sennheiser MKH816 and it's very similar. A little tighter and the off axis rejection isn't as good but I was wondering what other's experiences were. I don't really see it mentioned in forums or in anyone's kit...I'm thinking of selling it to get a Sanken CS-3e...Any thoughts? I read the discussion on but since i've only used my Beyerdynamic and heard the 816 once for the side-by-side, I don't have much useful input to contribute. Mainly wondering if anyone has used the Beyerdynamic and if it's worth keeping for an exterior or if I should go with something like the sanken CS-3e or the Neumann KMR82i. -Dave

Has anyone ever removed a capsule from a Beyer M58? I've just had one through from Ebay and noticed a slight rattle in the head. Sounds like something is very slightly lose just below the capsule. I'm worried about removing the capsule though as I have form in destroying things that I'm trying to repair. Looks pretty simple though, the capsule looks to be held in position by a rubber shockmount diaphragm. I think it probably just pulls out but I don't want to force it and break something while I still have the chance of sending it back. Any suggestions?
