I just got an email about this mic, coming soon from Universal Audio. It looks very suspiciously “SM7b-ish”…but $100 less…I may have to save some coin up, and do a shootout…

Looks very interesting, Don.

I do like an SM-7B. I remember first using those in a job I had in the ‘90s. Was very impressed with them. I’d be very curious to see how the SD-1 compares to them.

Yes it is a tiny little speaker. It has a magnet and a voice coil just like any speaker.
But the speaker cone is very thin light weight, and moves very super easily.
Anytime sound occurs it causes the tiny cone to vibrate and move just like a speaker does.
(the cone is called a diaphragm...)

The voice coil has 2 wires, which are the microphone output....
'Speaker in reverse' is a good way to describe it yes.

The Shure Brothers started out as Funeral operators.
As they opened more Funerals, they needed more sound systems and microphones.
They started making their own sound equipment for the funeral parlors.
And that is how the Shure Vocal Smasher PA and SM57 was born.

I've always loved Shure. Nice to know they're metal to the core. :ROFLMAO:

That looks very cool. I find it tempting...except I do not enjoy hearing my own recordings lately!

The Earthworks SR314 has been at the top of my wish list for a while.

Several years ago, I did some work on one of the lathes at Earthworks. They are very nice people, and I would gladly spend money on any of their products.
 
funny how the Shure SM 58. (and 57) keeps resurrecting itself...
Like the Telecaster, in constant production since gawd knows when.
When I first started getting into performing, every band had at least one
of these: (and the Shure mics to go with it)

But we never did. Davie bought himself a pair of EV DS-35s in about 1977, and I followed suit and bought a pair of
EV PL-95s about that same time. They matched up very well, and have given excellent service ever since.

Here's the young trio using the EV mics in about 1978...

Here I am all sweaty using those mics when they were brand new...

Here's the same trio using the same durn microphones in 2018... they still sound great and seem just as durable
as the vaunted SM-58s. I still own mine, and would use them if there were a gig to take them to.
They are a bit worn around the edges, but still crisp and clean for vocals especially.

These mics have outlived their original cases, and reside now in a home made
mic case with recycled foam cushioning. Hard to beat IMHO. You probably cain't
even buy these any more.
