The Beyer one is cardioid made for very close distance speaking.
The UHER one (made by AKG) is 2 omnidirectional microphones of small diaphragm too.
From an initial test the UHER M 640 sound very nice and much more suitable for vocals.
Signal path:
Male voice singing at low register - Beyer M640N at touching close distance or UHER M 640 at a few inch - Sony TC-D5 Pro - Sennheiser HD 580
There are artifacts of wind breath noise etc on Beyer M640N.
After listening to singing with the UHER M640 the Beyer M640 sounds not acceptable.
It may be worth comparing the UHER M640 to the Beyer M55 which is small diaphragm omni too and a nice sounding microphone.
Later today's addition.
The Beyer M640N sounds very nice at high male singing registers where bass heaviness can be more apparent. The mic cancels it especially at a few inch distance. For example singing The Power of Love - FGTH in original F minor key.
The UHER M 640 has high frequency detail too.
Another great stereo mic which does not normally need a Pleiades filter is the Philips EL 1979.
See later today's post.
