[QUOTE="kristianjohnsen, post: 26101, member: 441"] Re: One of those nights The "stuffy nose sound" is a function of it's super-narrow pick-up pattern. Vocal sound does not only come from the mouth like from the horn of a speaker, things like head resonance and air flow thought the nose plays a part, also. I'd say that the OM7 sounds OK on most people, great on a few and absolutely mud on a few others. For loud metal shows with no advance, rider, or time to try things out I somethimes just set up OM7s to be on the safe side. I'd rather take my chance at have muddy vocals than lots of feedback. For singers that use "human compression" (read: move on and off the mic) or for singers that insist on singing into the side of the mic or for singers that are constantly turning their head slightly from side to side while on the mic, the OM7 is a horrible mic. For me it's mainly a "metal mic" - although I have used them in other scenarios, but only with vocalists that I know have a style of singing that works with the OM7 - for them it can be a real problemsolver. Also, I never put up my last OM7 on stage. Having had several fill up with spit and starting to "sound like cardboard" I refuse to use them without a spare close by. [/QUOTE]
