SM 7 B : Amazing

I read a lot about this Microphone before buying it and it has very long and impressive history in the history of recording. I wanted an alternative to the large diaphragm condensers that I already have such as the AKG c414 XLS. In my mind I thought I would use this Microphone primarily for loud male rock vocals in a studio setup but I was very surprised at how many applications I found for it. I have used this on female vocals with great success, also it is awesome on Guitar amps, like a supercharged sm57 with more detail. The only thing I would say is that this Microphone does need a lot of gain so if you have noisy preamps I dont think this would suit. All in all an awesome Mic and highly recommended. Every studio should own one.
