Frequently Asked Questions

The SM7B is generally warmer and smoother, while the M82 has a more present, slightly aggressive character – both are excellent, but suit different vocal styles.
They’re designed to be noticeable but usable; the KICK EQ adds low-end thump, while the HIGH BOOST provides a gentle airiness, not a harsh peak.
While capable, the M82's dynamic nature and higher output may require careful gain staging and EQ to avoid sounding overly aggressive; it excels with stronger sources.
