SM 7 B : A great microphone, solid and easy to use

It's not hard to find a good recording setting with this one. It's great if your room doesn't have acoustic treatment, because it highly rejects room sounds if set up properly. The sound is quite warm and bassy, good for male singing and podcast/overdub. It's big and looks solid like a rock. You get a second pop screen for podcast use which promises to give you an even warmer/more bassy sound. I personally use this to record guitars in conjunction with a ribbon mic, to record my vocals, and as a substitute to sm57 when recording more twangy sounds full of top end, as it naturally tends to give a more mid-low punch and a top end roll off. Great microphone, and a standard for professional recording studios. Really worth the money, highly recommended.
