Yep, i have 2 of them. I use them mostly with API 312's. The are great and often overlooked mics. I have also used them with my calrecs and UA's. I have used them with a mackie with way less than stellar results. These mics have a low output.

I have one and love it. I use it with the new Mackie Onyx preamps (they have a bit more gain) and it works well. For certain voices it is just right. Often, it comes off like a sm57 on steroids - just a bit more "there".

Sometimes a JoeMeek VC2, sometimes an API 312. I'm about to pull the trigger on a new pre and I'll use it with that too. The SM7b is definately a great mic.
