Shure SM7B
Easily one of the most popular mics available today, the Shure SM7B is loved equally by creators, podcasters, and musicians. As a broadcast-quality dynamic mic, it offers excellent speech intelligibility and will also do well capturing guitar amps and brass instruments.
The SM7B is perfect for recording in unfavourable acoustic spaces, as its cardioid pickup pattern is highly localized with excellent off-axis cancelation. In addition, the mid-boost and low-end roll-off switches allow you to enhance the source somewhat.
One thing worth noting when recording with the SM7B is that it’s a low-output microphone and requires extra preamplification to perform at optimal.

AMS Neve 1073LB
The AMS Neve 1073LB brings the world’s most saught-after preamp into the 500-series format. Now, you can easily carry around the legendary 1073 in your lunchbox for use in studio or live sound situations.
Whether you need a warm vocal preamp or a high-quality DI input for guitar, this 1073LB provides a professional solution that allows you overload the input and fine tune the output for added character.
Of course it’s a considerable investment for a single preamp, which excludes the cost of a 500-series chassis. However, if you’re planning on entering the professional arena in recording or live sound, it’s a sure bet.
