SM 7 B : Glad I bought this microphone, has found many uses already!

This mic has served me well as a live mic on my snare drum, and likewise at home.

Most importantly it has yielded very pleasing results in the studio on various singers, percussive objects (for example I've cranked the gain and recorded a matchbox as a percussive instrument and it sounded awesome!)

The feel of it is sturdy, well build, and it looks cool. I'm sure it could survive a few more knocks than I've already subjected it to.

Overall, this mic has less 'depth' than some of the others I use - but in the context of the combinations I tend to go for, it works wonders in bringing clarity and punch to my mixes (or certain elements of them)

If you've got enough dough, get one of these and you won't be disappointed.
