Picked up a Heil PR-30 today....

...for $80.00!! I wasn't sure what they sold for until I got home late tonight but I think I did pretty good. I haven't had a chance to check it out yet. I plugged it in at the pawn shop to make sure that it worked but haven't been able to run it through it's paces.

Has anyone compared one of these to an SM-7B? The SM-7 is usually my go-to close mic for guitars and I'm not sure if this mic will be redundant.

Any opinions will be appreciate.

I don't have an sm7, but the PR30 is awesome.

I love it in conjunction with a 57. the 57 is more raw sounding, and balances out the clarity of the pr30.

Just picked one up myself ... looking forward to using it this weekend.

I've been reading a lot of reviews and it looks like it's going to be great for guitars, snare, bass, etc. I'm really interested to know how it'll compare to the SM7.
