SM 7 B : Best microphone for the studio or live!

I have used this mic for nearly a year now, recording a wide range of vocals and instruments and it never fails me. From male to female it just plain works.

This Mic is great for just about everything.

If your budget can stretch, get two and you have two fantastic tom mics. Use it on the inside of a kick drum, a snare drum, guitar cab, vocals, brass and just about everything else.

I can have an acoustic guitar playing right beside this mic with a very minimal amount of bleed over. The side rejection is fantastic. Makes the mixing process a lot easier. Great separation for the sound engineers.

I have nothing bad to say about this microphone other than, i would recommend investing in a cloud lifter to get the most from it. With the Cloud Lifter you can get enough gain from the microphones without having the need to push your mic pres too hard.

Pros:

Great Response

Flat and natural tone

Can take very high S P L levels

No need for a pop filter with the included foam cover

Cons:

You need a high end preamp or cloudlifter to get the most out of it.
