an re50 or re20 would be good too..sm57, sm7, sennheiser 421, 441, any of the classic dynamics will work ok imho..

sleep over jack wrote:or you can try taping the base of the plastic grill on a 57, as was described here on tape op earlier today. supposedly, it makes the 57 more omni when the tape covers up the phase cancellation holes.

It also makes the mic sound like crap- try it though, it's a neat trick and easy.

The Beyer 101 sounds surprisingly good on overhead duty- I'm not sure how the 201 would sound, being supercardioid.

The recent Led Zeppelin DVD contains footage of them using a pair of RE20s on overhead, never tried it myself, though.

I have to second the tape op omni as a go to for phantomless operations.
