"Got some great help from fellow slutz on several dynamic mic suggestions for vocals on another thread. I've kind of narrowed it down to two. The male vocalist has a high, thin-ish, slightly raspy voice that is just not a good match for my AT4050 condensor. My preamp is an FMR Audio RNP.\n \nSo here are my questions:\n \nCan anyone give me a general description comparing the similarities and the differences of the Shure SM7B and the ElectroVoice RE-20?\n \nAlso, if you were adding your first dynamic mic to your mic locker (to be used almost exclusively for vocals), which one of these mics would it be (please keep in mind the preamp I'm using)?\n \nOther factors to consider:\nThis singer is inexperienced and very dynamic, so his poor mic technique can cause some proximity issues."
