Sound difference between SM7 & SM7b

VO-Guy · 7th August 2005

Is their that big a sound difference between the SM7 and the SM7B. I've got a SM7, just wondering if I should add the SM7B to the collection. If there's a big difference, meaning better, I will. If not, I won't worry about it. Thanks for the input!

I asked the same question a few months back.

The general response was "no, they sound the same". There are some minor differences regarding construction, but sonically, they are relatively identical.

Hey thanks. No SM7b addition.

As far as I know, its the mount that is different (apprently better) between the two, but nothing electronic.
