New mike addition

[DanG2006]

I'm getting a new mike for my use only. A Shure SM7B. If it's good enough for Jon Bon Jovi, then it's good enough for me.

Will it make you sound like Jon Bon Jovi?

nice mic, just don't forget to pick up an external preamp for it. the output is low and is designed to go into a nice preamp before the board.

Any suggestions for a good affordable preamp?

i have always had good luck with Presonus. the tubeamp v2 is a great small format pre and it's only $125 or so.
it's not an Avalon, but it's not Avalon prices either.
