Which is the Best Live Vocal Microphone - SM58a or SM7B Shure Microphone?

Hey everyone! I was inbetween recording sessions and decided to make a quick video showing you the differences in raw sound of the Shure SM58a (beta) and the Shure SM7B microphones. I did a quick comparison by recording a verse from one of my own songs using my Taylor acoustic guitar mic'ed with an AKGC414 and then switched vocal microphones so you could quickly hear the difference. I was amazed with the difference to be honest and can see why the SM7B is such a favourite for live vocal recordings in the studio. What did you think? Polite/sensible/honest comments only or me and my microphones will find you! :-) Happy recording to you! Keep well, Martin Please remember to subscribe and like! Thank you!
