    The reason the SM7B sounds muffled "like it has a veil over it" is because it does! That black foam windscreen (even the thinner one) is quite substantial and with it secured by the black ring at the base it significantly degrades the sound. Taking off the foam transforms the SM7B into a different mic, with noticeably better clarity and definition across the spectrum. More presence and air, and yes, a bit more sibilant, but overall a distinctly cleaner sound. Looks a little odd at first. Put a decent pop filter in front of a foamless SM7B and see what you think. - And a huge Thank You! for generously producing and sharing these videos. You are coaching and mentoring an enormous number of people who use voice in a diversity of personal and professional pursuits.

    For radio (or podcasts) that hypes the high mids with multiband compressors a lot that veil is will actual help a ton. But for regular spoken voice I agree, get a nylon popfilter for that thing. It's beautiful.

    Agreed. I have a Broadcaster and an SM7B myself and sound/tone-wise the RODE is superior across the board, except it's a little less forgiving in untreated rooms being a condenser and it's a little more plosive than the 7B.

    @THEDDTinc. NEW the Broadcaster has a certain richness that my RE20 doesn't have, but what I will say is this, the RE20 kinda has the sound I wanted in my head (that awesome radio sound but not too much boom and sizzle). I haven't compared the the RE320 with the Broadcaster though, which is probably a better comparison given the RE20 is a little more expensive again the the Broadcaster and RE320. With all that said: my favourite mic is my Rode NTG-3 Shotgun mic :-)

    @THEDDTinc. NEW my recommendation these days would be the RE20 or if you wanted something a little cheaper and slightly higher output RE320. They're so versatile and sound fantastic. The RODE NTG-3 sounds best on my voice, because my voice doesn't have a lot of low and mid-bass, and the NTG-3 helps me in that range. If you already have a deeper voice, or you're recording in a space with a lot of standing bass waves, I'd avoid going with a shotgun mic. Just my opinion.

    Wow! In flat mode, just listening on my car speakers, the Rode impressed me. When all the switches on the SM7B were engaged, it sounded off. I cranked the speakers on the Sure and did hear some noise that wasn't evident in the Rode. This has once again confirmed my decision that if I need a front address mic in the future, it will more than likely be an EV RE series or, now, a Rode Broadcaster. Thanks Mike! Always a great educational video that saves tons of time and money.

    Great video, thank you. I ran through the comments and it seems to me that nobody mentioned that the indicator light can be switched on/off through two additional pins of the XLR connector of the Broadcaster. Broadcast consoles usually has this feature of controlling an on air lamp via dedicated contacts. When said additional pins of the XLR connector of the microphone is not used, the LED can simply indicate the presence of phantom power. Please note that muting a microphone on a mixer will not switch off the phantom power since even several seconds are required to polarize a condenser when the phantom power arrives and usually one does not have time to wait for the microphone to be ready when unmuted.

    Yes, SM7B is more like sound in a can, and lack of presence, a little bit boost of mid-range in a not-so-good way(sound for me, haven't seen its freq. map). I am fan of both company, I have Shuer SM58 & Super55, also have RODE NT1 & NT2000 & M5 Pair, but IMO, for song & voice-over recording I choose RODE, for Live or other noise enviroment performing Shuer is the only option. I used to work at a traditional FM station(in China) several years ago, they used 4 RODE Broadcasters and a pair of Dynaudio LYD8 monitor, the sound just tight and punchy and powerful, so now I am considering for buy one(Broadcaster). and at last and the most important, this is a very good comparision, THANK YOU!

    Excellent video as usual. Most anyone I've talked to about the SM7B, including producers at the radio stations I work with (and I use their SM7B's as well in their studios) all recommend using a Cloud Lifter or a FetHead with it because it's so quiet. Factory specs say requires minimum 70 dB of gain but 90 is optimal. Wondering if you ever use such an add-on with it to pump up it's performance. Keep up the great work!

Your voice is so relaxing (sometimes your videos play in my headphone in the background while I'm coding my games). I'd love to make my room isolated from the noisy neighborhood and noise cancellation headphone helps, but still doesn't let me work and record in quiet :P I've checked your kits, along with several other websites and videos about how to make a sound proof room or booth. But most of them are just acoustic treatments, and not real sound proofing. Is there a way I can make a silent booth? minimum of 2m x 2m ? ...

    Hey Mike, thanks for this comparison. The SM7B is great, but people need to know just how many other mics out there compete with it at lower price points. I was wondering if you would consider doing a video about phase cancellation. I have tons of issues monitoring my voice while recording with my voice and the headphone monitor phase cancelling each other, which makes it really hard to listen to myself talk for extended periods of time. Is there anything I can do about it? Thanks again.

    Listening to this with my Sennheiser HD280 Pro, the Rode sounds better on your voice, its brighter and clearer and I quite like the sound. With the Shure, when you put the presence boost on, it seemed to just boost the high frequencies and cut all the bass and I would have liked more bass than that and with the bass roll off on, it sounded too thin to me.I don't normally like the sound of Rode mics, but that is quite a good sounding mic.

    Love your videos. What would you suggest as a good microphone for a female voice podcaster and live social media broadcaster? I am using a cheap usb microphone right now and am upgrading.

    Great video, Broadcaster sounds a bit brighter , but i would buy both. Maybe using a cloudlifter in the sm7b makes a difference...

    Hey! Thanks a bunch for all the great videos... one question if I may: my sm7b is hissing and I can't find the reason... any idea?? I have a fethead plugged straight into the sm7b and it runs into a new focusrite scarlett solo... this is so frustrating

    Wow, after hearing this comparison, I'm confused why the SM7b is still seen as like a "standard"... The Broadcaster sounds WAY better to my ear. You're totally right about the SM7b's "presence" boost. It sounds more like a mid/high-mid boost. Like it adds more nasal tones with a bit of brightness. Kind of like the sound of a phone call... The Broadcaster just sounds so much more crisp and clear while still keeping that low end that people like in a voiceover/radio/podcast mic sound. Maybe the SM7 is just one of those things that stays around because it's been around. People see it a lot, so they think of it as "the radio mic", so then they get one, which makes more people see it etc etc etc. It's like how people think things like Beats headphones are good because they see famous/rich people with them. Definitely considering picking up a Broadcaster now!

    That's why many radios use Røde Broadcaster, not Shure SM7B. (By the way, i saw one radio that they used Shure and then they changed into Røde Bradcaster)

    Thank you Mike. I prefer the Rode as I found to be, to my ear, more alive. Shure is lazy and I am waiting for it to deliver. For me, it does not. Shure is less present; I have to work for Shure to listen to and get the feeling. Rode is effortless for me. Then again, the sound is such a personal thing and I am glad we have choices to get exactly the effect we think we like. Give Shure "the bean" and it starts the wind and sticks up the joint.....smiles.

    The broadcaster works perfectly fine without a cloudlifter, so its a cheaper option. Also some people complain that even with the cloudlifter the audio sounds disappointing, not only few are having this issue.

    Hi Mike, would you compare the Broadcaster to the other classics (mk 416 and tlm 103), because I think we all noticed how well the broadcaster sounded with your voice here.

    Explore with Rick I use the Yamaha MG10XU on the show and it works great. You can find them around $160. The good thing about the RODE, you don't have to drive your pre-amps to hard. The SM7B you will be pushing it to the limits and still have to work on it in Post.

    This video was perfect timing for me. I have a CAD E100, but I was getting some background hiss, so I bought an SM7B last night. I also already own a fetthead to boost the gain, but I was hoping to eliminate any background noise. I am about to try it. :) Any other dynamic mics in this class I could look into?

    The CAD E100 is supposed to be a super quiet mic. So you probably have some room noise. OR you could think about upgrading your preamps on your interface, they could be introducing that hiss you are talking about. My guess is your preamp or interface is introducing the hiss....
