SM7B

Now I understand why this mic is so popular and people simply love it. It's worth paying for. Simply go for it if you do podcasting, voice over, and online meetings. In order to pare it, you need another fantastic product called Rodecaster Pro that will give this mic the proper amount of gain. Rodecaster will also offer you some additional benefits and you'll have your own home studio all set up. Don't wait any longer. Take this microphone and start recording. Happy recording.

If you're looking to improve your current budget XLR mic setups and saved up enough, this is one of the best upgrades that you can make to your setup. Keep in mind that this mic needs a lot of gain to function properly, but since I use it with my GoXLR it runs perfect without the need of a cloud lifter. As the name says, it's legendary. Worth the price premium!

Great Product, but at least add a Cable in the Box lol Otherwise how do you think I will connect.

I have been an amateur recording artist for some while. Always fiddling around trying new gear. I used a Rhode-NT1 before for vocals but the SM7 just blows it out of the water. The clarity with presence boost engaged helps vocals cut through mix without that brittle bite of a condenser. Much smoother and warmer and not so prone to picking up room noise. I do use a Klark Teknik line booster (Cloud lifter) in line before going to my sound card.

Don’t think twice if you can afford it Go for it. Nothing comes close to it when it comes to the price and quality.

One of the best thing which you can buy with your money .Its worth every penny . heavy , precise , beautiful . Performs in every way as it advertised .. You can buy it blindly

Shure SM7B is the Number 1 Dynamic Microphone, nothing can beat it. it's clean signal, sound like Broadcast it also need a mic booster like cloudlifter or Fethead to give it clean 20 db signal so you won't have to crank the gain level to maximum and start to hear hiss sound.

I was really excited to get the SM7B after hearing all the hype, and don’t get me wrong — it’s a solid mic. The sound is rich and clear, especially for vocals and podcasts. But honestly? Coming from the Rode PodMic, the difference wasn’t as big as I expected for the price jump. You need a good preamp to make it shine, which adds even more cost. It’s a great mic, but if you’re on a budget, the PodMic gives you almost the same quality for way less. I guess I was expecting a bit more for what I paid.

The Shure SM7B is a game-changer for anyone serious about audio quality. As a podcaster and musician, finding a microphone that delivers on versatility and performance is paramount. The SM7B not only meets but exceeds expectations. Its construction exudes durability, a reassuring factor when investing in quality audio equipment. The sleek design is not just aesthetic but a testament to its robustness, fitting seamlessly into any studio setup. The standout feature? Its ability to capture rich, warm tones across a wide frequency range. Whether I'm recording vocals, instruments, or voiceovers, the SM7B consistently delivers crystal-clear sound reproduction. The bass roll-off and mid-range emphasis controls allow tailored sound shaping, adapting effortlessly to different recording environments and preferences. One thing to note: This microphone requires a good amount of gain, so pairing it with a high-quality preamp or interface is recommended for optimal performance. Additionally, its low sensitivity might not suit all recording setups, especially for quieter sound sources. Despite these considerations, the SM7B's exceptional noise rejection capabilities make it a top choice for professional studios. It effectively minimizes background noise, ensuring clean recordings even in less-than-ideal acoustic settings. In conclusion, the Shure SM7B is a true workhorse microphone. Its unparalleled sound quality, durability, and adaptability make it a staple for audio professionals and enthusiasts alike. While it might demand some additional equipment for optimal performance, the results it delivers justify every penny. If you're seeking a versatile, reliable microphone that consistently produces high-quality audio, the SM7B should be at the top of your list. Remember to tweak or adjust the review as needed, depending on your personal experiences and preferences with the microphone!

Straight out of the box this was already perfect! I would go as far as to say this is THE BEST MICROPHONE THAT YOU COULD EVER OWN! Literal perfection!

Pros -Solid Build Quality -Fantastic Sound -Built in Shock Mount -Easy to physically adjust -Comes with 2 foam windscreens (one for general use [you see in most pics], and a thicker one to get right up against it) -Comes with smaller thread adapter Cons -Likely will need a cloudlifter (depending on your interface) *I'm using this with a Focusrite Scarlett Solo on a Rode PSA1 Boom Right off the bat, I'm not a audio professional, so I can't technically tell you why this mic is great. But for my uses, it is absolutely FANTASTIC! I got this to replace my AT2020 because I learned that Dynamic mics are better for picking up vocals only in front of the mic itself, and that's exactly what this does. I use this for streaming, gaming, and generally talking to friends on discord, and it's extremely nice not needing to use any software processing to isolate my voice and get a clean sound. The reason why I didn't put the price as a con is because it's much easier (and possibly cheaper) than treating my room with sound dampening foam and such. It really does a great job at isolating my voice, and running through the Focusrite, my gain can be high with almost no static from the gain being near max. This is where the cloudlifter will come in. From my understanding, it's recommended that your interface be capable of outputting ~75dB to power this mic, however the cloudlifter can boost your interface by ~25dB without introducing static. Basically the cloudlifter lets you phantom power your dynamic mic (dynamic mics don't directly take phantom power). Since you will probably need a cloudlifter, you'll also need another xlr cable because. Aside from likely needing a cloudlifter, there's not really anything negative I could come up with. It does exactly what it's supposed to do with great quality. If you're eyeing this, you probably already know that they used the SM7B to record Michael Jackson's Thriller back in the day, so it rightfully has Legendary status. If you're new into higher quality audio, I recommend the Focusrite Scarlett Solo which is right around $100. I wouldn't recommend going less than that because you start risking less clean audio. It's also a must to get a cloudlifter so you're not maxing out your gain. The volume and quality will be much better. All in all, this was a solid purchase. Audio is very subjective, so definitely listen to some sound tests on YouTube before you make your decision. While this mic is perfect for my needs, it might not be for yours. When investing in equipment like this, generally, the price reflects the quality, and you need multiple components to get it working properly. These are all things to consider before making a purchase. If you're looking for a really good Dynamic mic, you can't go wrong with this.

It was broken

Et avec la Roadcaster pro, le préréglage n’a plus qu’à être affiné. J’adore.
