I have only used it for vocals so I don't know how it performs with other sources.

Made in the 90's, this dynamic mic with hypercardioid pattern and pad requires a mixing desk with good quality preamps.

OVERALL OPINION

I've been using it weekly since last summer. I have four mics for the vocals (8 singers). It's a delight to my ears.

FYI we are a parody rock band with a big chorus, two to four guitars, bass, brass, and percussions that generate plenty of SPL throughout the whole frequency spectrum.

And sometimes we even have to be able to make a pennywhistle audible...

Pros: read the excellent and comprehensive previous reviews.

Cons : Not found yet...

Dynamic mics which I've used over the last 20 years: really bad things (SHURE UNISPHERE, PHONIC, FOSTEX, ...) and SHURE SM58 (HS), BETA 58 (HS), SHURE 55SH, BEYER M88N (HS), AKG 330BT, SENN BF5xx/E840/E845, AKG D880, etc.

Dynamic mics which I currently use: AUDIX OM7, EV N/S767 and AKG 330BT.

Dynamic mics that stay in their cases: SENN 845/840, AKG D880, SHURE SM58.

Dynamic mics which I tested and gave away to karaoke fans: AKG D750, AUDIX F50.

Value for money? Two OM7 cost approximately the same as three SM58...

Four OM7 are enough for me and this purchase is one of the best technical choices I've made in my whole amateur musician life.
