Frequently Asked Questions

The SM7B is warmer and more colored, while the SR314 is much more neutral and transparent, providing a truer representation of the vocalist’s tone.
While durable, the stainless steel can show wear marks, especially with frequent handling, but it's far more resistant than typical microphone finishes.
While excellent on vocals, the SR314's neutral character might lack the 'color' some prefer on acoustic instruments; consider it primarily a vocal workhorse.
