I use one of these fairly regularly... although I won't say for what.

I use a microphone to record vocals....Does that help?

Seriously though, if you don't lay out some context, your going to get silly answers and no real productive/inspiring/helpful ones.

I feel like I use a 414 for nearly everything (vox, acoustic geeetar, sometimes OH, heck, I even got a pretty good sax sound out of it).

I think I'm even going to use it this evening to fix a leaky faucet.

Apogee converters, both -16x and Rosetta.

Seriously, it's not a fun or hip thing to talk about, but everything I record, monitor, and mix goes thru those things, and they never let me down. No nasty surprises, no tech issues, no doubts...

Best, Marcel

Oh, and I used to have a C-12VR that would probably have made a good hammer. It wasn't good for much else.

Luckily I managed to sell it without getting hosed too bad...

Nah, probably better served as a paperweight.

Hey, I am sure you have been in a position to try the Heil PR-40...

How do you think in compares to the SM7? Is it so close as to not warrant trying it or does it separate itself from SM7 enough?

Cheers,
David
