SM 7 B : The Hidden Gem of Vocal Mics

10 years ago

Wow. Where do I start. This has to be one of the best vocal mics ever. I have used it succesfully through all sorts of pre amps but NEVE has always been my preference for most things. It has a silky smooth response that really compliments the voice of both male and female vocalists. It has a U47 type nice thick middy sound that sounds just awesome. Some people refer to it a a cheap man's U47. I can really see why. I have used it both live but mainly for recording. The first time I heard myself through this I remember saying Wow! hence my opening line. Incredible mic for an incredible price. If I had to choose one mic for vocals this would be it.
