But, their ability to handle SPL's and having the smooth response of a K47 capsule, makes them very handy in a lot of applications. Klaus can probably speak better to the issue of what is the cause. I'd also be curious to know if he ever made one sound as good as he's made U87's and 414EB's.
Also, the right voice, eq and compressor cam make an SM7 sound great on some vocals!
Maybe not "great", but sometimes I like even a 58 to roughen up my voice.
Here I did the "Julian Krause" EQing of the 57/58...
To get it closer to a SM7.
Going through Air Mode.
Just another "one take" vocal, so take it easy (wasn't that a song-Hmm) on me!

P.S. Window squeaks C/O Audacity noise reduction. I left them in! Pure accident.
