Frequently Asked Questions

The SM7B has a more hyped low-midrange, while the PR31 BW is more neutral and requires a bit more preamp power to really shine.
While it *can* be used, it’s not its strongest suit; it lacks the aggressive bite some guitarists prefer, and might need significant EQ to compensate.
You’ll want a preamp with ample clean gain and a low noise floor – something with at least 60dB of headroom to really get the best out of it.
