SM 7 B : Affordable industry standard classic studio mic.

11 years ago

This is one of the only affordable mics you can get in this price range that has been used by all the great engineers, producers and artists for decades, (and still is).

For certain singers (Michael Jackson, Anthony Kiedis, Bjork to name but a few) and producers (Rick Rubin, Quincy Jones etc) the SM7 is preferred to the most expensive condenser mics.

Its dynamic so is great for micing in non-treated rooms or when recording a vocalist that's playing acoustic at the same time because it wont pick up the room and guitar as much as a condenser would.

The SM7 is a very affordable top of the range tool to have in any studio, professional or amateur.
