but on the right singer, it works great. (This is a familiar story, no?) |

And funny, I've had an RE20 work more often than an SM7.... gofigure. |

the SM-7 just works every time i've tried it. in the last 2 years, i've stopped reaching for anything else. |

That's what I was getting at. It's crazy how the same tool works so differently in someone else's hands. rattleyour - the pr-40 is great. I've tried it on vocals, kick, and bass, sounded great on all of them. |

yeah, the engineer (who shall remain nameless.....) who did my band's dying record used an M88 on the snare. MOST BEAUTIFUL THING I'VE EVER HEARD. ok, perhaps an exageration, but it worked really well. |

well, we are talking about two mics built specifically for the capture of the human voice. |

don't get me wrong, i totally dig seeing a big U-47 in front of a singer, i just got tired of lining up 3 - 6 mics to hear which one would work best. the SM-7 just works every time i've tried it. in the last 2 years, i've stopped reaching for anything else. |

Anybody ever used this microphone? I just demo-ed one, and IMO, it sounds AWFUL. Cheap sounding low end, honky mids, absent high end. I'd heard good things about it too...... |

It's possible, then, that the batteries in the mic you demoed were either on their last legs or not fully charged to start with. I recall that the data sheet for the mics said to charge them before initial use, and your demo mics might not have been charged. |
