Anyone ever use these on overheads? Or any other likes/dislikes for certain applications? I have access to 2 and might even be able to own them, so I was wondering if they are worth adding to a mic collection, or are they mainly a live mic? I tried one on vocals and I liked how i didn't have to cut any low end, since the mic starts falling off at about 100 Hz. Any opinions?

I've had one for going on 10 years. I use it mainly as my live vocal mic, yes, but I have recorded vocals in the studio with it (myself and others) and it sounds damn good for certain voices.
I really haven't tried it on other sources, but it would be interesting to hear a pair as overheads. Why not?

I tried my Beta 87a on a guitar cab for a couple sessions. It sounded really nice! This was a solid state amp being used by a jazz guitarist. The sound was full and meaty. I can dig it!
