I fully agree with the SM7 & 414 choices.
I've some tips for budget-friendly options if you're after a selection
of decent tools (second-hand). Hopefully this'll be useful & save someone
hours of research 🙂
I use an Equitek E100 as my '414 equivalent'. It's one of the original ones -
I've not tried the reissues.
If I need an 'SM7-ish' vibe, I put a foam wind-shield on my SM57.
The Violet Designs Black Knight is great for backing vocals and is built like
Titanium Toilet.
