I accidentally bought the Shure SM7B! (Podmic vs. SM7B)

Фильм және анимация

Oh man oh man the audio hell I've been in. I wanted to provide some insight between my experiences with the Rode Podmic and Shure SM7B. Both great mics, with definite differences. Which one did you like the sound of?

    I definitely take back what I said in the comments on your video about the PodMic. I said that it didn't need a CloudLifter, and while in streaming applications, the slight noise floor of the Scarlett 2i4 itself isn't anything to worry about (especially when considering game sounds and background music make that unnoticeable), when trying to make proper edited videos for KZread, that buzz is so noticeable that I might go ahead and buy a CloudLifter. The beauty of a proper audio setup is that even if I buy the Cloudlifter, it is a good investment because if I ever want to upgrade to the SM7B in the future, I will still be able to use the CloudLifter, and then much later on if I feel like I need to upgrade to a GOXLR, I can easily replace the 2i4.

    Podmic is okay. I have one. It makes your voice sound thin. Your SM7B sounds way better. It has more fullness

    That’s what EQ is for, obviously depending on your uses for the mic but if you’re just streaming or making KZread videos the podmic is a much better value and sounds just as good as the sm7b when EQ’d and on the likes of twitch

    @@ivanh3 yeah, when in a youtube video or especially streaming on the likes of Twitch, the streams are heavily compressed anyway, so there is no real sound difference there but for a podcast it makes sense to use the SM7B

    I think the PodMic sounds a lot clearer. I like it more than the SM7B.

    Rode is very sibilant. I think if you're on a budget, the sm57 would be a better buy then the podmic.
