    According to my sources, the Shure SM7 would be the perfect incarnation of professional studio microphone. He did not pick up background noise and feedback.

    NOTICE GLOBAL

    I decided to buy the very bientt me because it just seems to me the best.

    My +: He did not pick up background noise and feedback which is a default home.
    My -: Its price. This is probably the best price that we can give him, but I say it is too expensive.

    This is my # 1 choice for the moment!

    What should I choose as Amp?

    dynamic microphone for voice pick

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for 3 years
    is perfectly suited to a micro voice "nag" genre rap, hardcore, metal.
    it is also excellent in isolation, it was designed for radio at the time newsrooms noisy, internal air cushion suspension has done its office.
    I use it for "live" recorded when the singer also plays an instrument, to avoid repeating the instrument.
    Coupled to a preamplifier 610 LA, it's wonderful!
    I've never tried on a female voice
    I successfully tested on low toms, brass, guitar amps
    however it is quite unsuitable for remote sockets, atmospheres, and instruments to soundboard.

    not very expensive for a micro in its class, it's still a specialized micro, if you have only one microphone, choose a more versatile model.
    I would do this choice without hesitation, this microphone is very special, but what he does, he is the only one doing it as well!

    Very good dynamic mic

    Shure SM7Published on 07/06/13 at 07:31
    (This content has been automatically translated from French)
    Hi

    Very good dynamic mic I like to pair together a comp / analog preamp to give a rather warm color, natural and vintage.
    Some similarities with a 421.

    I used to snare & toms (attention to very high levels)
    Studio with 5 microphones SM7 I like to take all the skins of the same battery ...
    Like its directivity & turn "old school"
    It also has a very useful sharp filter to voice out some grains.
    Micro heavy & sturdy (it takes a hefty foot)
    High congestion so delicate placement.
    8/10

    OVERALL OPINION

    Just an opinion on the microphone: microphone in use in radio studio frequently.
    It is perfect for recording a guitar amp (given its freq response)
    Also perfect for recording a voice close (very close).
    What is nice is that it is not very sensitive,
    it captures what is at 5 cm, period ... very interesting if several sources.
    Brief everyone will tell you, "this does not micro ahaha this is not done for"
    well try and see for yourself. Surprising result.

    Micro type radio studio.
    Cardioid dynamic technology.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I just have it, it's great on some issues and less on others.

    Very resistant ... Pretty good but the preamp will play the max.

    OVERALL OPINION

    This in spcificit CHARACTERISTICS continues in the sound. We are facing an alien my faith very enjoyable. First, as discussed below, we see immediately what ct "on air" he emphasizes. It feels to talk radio ds first takes. It has a warm nature with nature smoother but also his Ractive confrre the sm58 and the 8 microphone akg who were around him. it has a grain less apocalyptic, but wide and, when pushed in to a corner, he Ragit trs dnaturer naturally without grain, but by grafting texture.
    But mfiance the catgoriser in micro radio without worrying about what he may have in the belly can be a big mistake. With proper installation derrire, it is possible to get out about the results really bluffing. He loves the dynamic voices, whether live or in studio and n'corche not "s" and "Ch" as the other mikes. They spend more smooth, but without losing lgrement FLTs body. Instead, he likes to add more. Knowing right to keep, I would say that Violet Design "The Wedge" and the Brauner "Panthera" microphones are relatively similar principles, although still more expensive because pousss further. But the SM7 can find his marks on scne. Indeed, it seems to sound ractif parasites sent by your collgues request for it be used trs prs Mission of the source of sound. Something else ... it is also good for the resumption of guitar amps, for which he is more rich, warm and soft as a sm57; to take over bass amp (which does adj explained below ) and to come to the reinforcement of a floor tom mic or a kick that would stain Different.

    [8] will not take you be a millionaire to have a sound that kills. The SM7 is a good investment for those who want a micro reliable, robust, versatile and affordable, yet without compromising on the sound. Quick Tip our Swiss friends, buy it for 399 in Germany, Switzerland, the market price Exceeds 535 euros.

    Fabulous

    Dynamic microphone used for the vocals, guitar, accordion, bass drum.

    OVERALL OPINION

    It's a great mic. Really, really. He actually likes good preamp that grow well. Its very soft and warm (which I thought to hear a kind of large sm57, I am firmly planted).

    The trick génialissime is its ability to make a very nice tone of voice, intelligible (after comp + EQ), even when it is mixed thoroughly in the instrumentals. He clearly has a color, you may not like some votes. The slight lack of clear highs against other dinosaurs, frankly seen digital technology, is it really a handicap?

    Really cool dynamic mic

    Shure SM7Published on 12/15/10 at 21:05
    This is a dynamic mic that works great for live settings as well as in the studio. With a particular kind of pickup pattern, it's got a cool kind of sound. It's not the most expensive mic in the world but it probably costs more than most dynamic mics except maybe the 421 and similar mics. It has a really cool sound and is useful in a lot of ways.
    I can use this mic more often in live situations. I've used it on lead vocals in live shows countless times. It's great if you're in a venue with feedback issues as it only picks up what is directly in front of it. I also like it on horns and kick drums as well for the same reason, as its still a dynamic mic it'll pick up a lot but won't be too lou…

    OVERALL OPINION

    The cool thing about this microphone is that it only picks up the frequencies that are directly in front of it, so it's great at minimizing bleed in a vocal signal. It's not something that a singer can hold in a live situation, obviously, but it's great for singer/guitarists really. Since it blocks out sound from certain directions, it doesn't really sound like most microphones, and as such it'll have qualities that I don't think you are used to hearing in mics, but I'd say overall it's pretty accurate. Only a trained ear would really notice such detail, and it pays off by isolating the signal. In the studio as a scratch vocal it's capable of blocking out excess noise but it'll get a good sound of the whole vocal. I know engineers who swear by its use for professional vocals but I don't think that I like it as much as a good tube mic or condenser. Anyway it's useful and not too expensive and can be a dealbreaker sometimes, so I highly recommend it.

    The Shure SM7 is a dynamic recording microphone designed for broadcast speech I believe, but is also great for singers, among other things. It is built like a tank, as most Shure microphones are and can take a bit of a beating, although I wouldn't recommend beating it at all!

    OVERALL OPINION

    I've been using the Shure SM7 for about four or five years, and it has become one of my favorite microphones for male vocals. It is like a supped up SM57, with more girth and body in it's sound. This mic is extremely underrated, and to me it can sound as good or better on certain people's vocals than any mic I have used.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I've been using the Shure SM7 for about four or five years, and it has become one of my favorite microphones for male vocals. It is like a supped up SM57, with more girth and body in it's sound. This mic is extremely underrated, and to me it can sound as good or better on certain people's vocals than any mic I have used. I would compare the SM7 to the Electro Voice RE20, since they are both made for radio broadcast and for speech application and are both in the same price range. In terms of tracking male vocals, I think this is way better mic than the RE20 and is probably a better all around mic. However, I would choose the RE20 for strict broadcast and speech use. I also like using the SM7 as a kick drum mic and on a bass amp or electric guitar amp. The best part about the SM7 is that it will cost you only a fraction of some more expensive mics, but is as good as any I have used in certain situations. If you are a male vocalist and have a project studio, I would definitley at least give this mic a try to see if your voice is a fit because when it is you can really get some good results - specifically good on rock singers with a bit of a growl, or for a screamer. All in all this is a great mic that I love having in my mic cabinet.
