The AKG D7 is a pretty good dynamic vocal mic that will give you a quality that you wont have to do too much with. Meaning you wont have to do too much boosting the eq’s or cutting them down because everything records pretty natural and is ready to go right off the bat. I think I had to boost a little on the high end just to give a little more clear sound to the vocals and more presence. I cut a lot of the low end out as I do on all of my songs because my voice isn’t very deep so there isn’t a lot of low presence in my recordings. But you will find that the AKG D7 is a perfect mic for the home recording vocalist to get a very good recording with out having to go pay a bigger studio to record them. Not saying this mic can provide the quality of a really expensive mic, but it will record good enough that your listeners wont know that you recorded it from home which is very important to me.


OVERALL OPINION

Overall, I am very pleased with the AKG D7 and think it deserves more respect because it’s a very powerful mic and its affordable enough to have at your house. If you are a singer with a lighter voice and not to heavy or deep this mic will work great for your. It will provide a nice crisp natural sounding vocal. One of my favorite things about this mic is you don’t have to have a full room treatment in order to get the best out of it. I recorded with it in my living room with just standard furniture (couches , etc..) and it did everything I needed it to do. The AKG D7 works good, if you can afford to spend a little more money look into some higher AKG Dynamic mics.
