It's pretty neutral sounding; not much of a sonic signature. Real versatile and can be used on just about anything (including lead vocal in certain situations).
I probably should have put it in the title of the thread as opposed to the book I wrote in the subject of the post - but I’m specifically looking for something that will compliment/contrast with a u47 style mic!
RE-20 is definitely a good budget friendly option. I don’t have a ton of experience with them outside of throwing one on the odd floor tom: would it be covering similar ground as an SM7B?
