SM7B Vs MD421

[CatharsisStudios]

whats the pros and cons of these mics, i know the md421 is legit for guitar, but how is the sm7?

 

[LSD-Studio]

I'd say "sm7b vs. RE-20" would be a better comparison

 

[CatharsisStudios]

really, well how does the re-20 hold on guitar?

I don´t own a SM7 but I got some Sennheisers and I don´t like them on guitars very much. They sound too smooth for me.

The MD421s sound very nice on toms but they pick up very much bleed from the cymbals if you place them too near.
I used to record toms with SM58s and I didn´t have such problems with them but they didn´t sound as good as the Sennheisers...

sm7b and re20 are a good comparison


421 not so good with them two


i love 421/57 on guitars
also sm7/57 sm7 is fuller and smoother than the sm57 but not as mid hyped as the 421


i do like the re20 on vocals though, it takes less gain than the sm7b and more proximity.Overall i like the sm7b more imo.. but there very close

for guitars i'd go with the md421
