Definitely considering the mic for my new purchase. I bought the Stellar X2 a few years back and it’s been doing a great job with its custom capsule.

Loudness is alright but how's it behaving as far as the STN ratio is concerned when its internal preamp is on? Does it introduces any boost in the mids and the highs when both internal and external amp are active in one way or another, does it have any changes frequency-wise? Thanks in advice, my guy. Bless.

@SeanDivine

The internal pre is crystal clear, introduces no additional noise even at +28. No change in frequency response compared to the SM7B.

Hi! is there a difference in the sound of the original shure SM7B produced in China and the Mexican one released in the same year? maybe have you compared them?

Just got sm7b + cloudlifter. I figured I could keep the cloudlifter for other mics

So you still think if we dont have any tech to go with the sm7db?

Quick question: I'm using a Shure SM7dB with a Canon Mark IV 5D, and I'm getting quite a lot of hissing, i.e., a 'ssshhhh' sound in the background. Cable is Tisino XLR to 3.5mm Mini Jack Microphone Cable. Do you know what might be causing it?

@SeanDivine

5 ай бұрын

Using the onboard mic input on your camera is likely the culprit. They're not designed to be noise free and clean like a proper audio interface / preamp.

what will happen when the internal cloud lifter in the sm7db gets broken, will the mic still work and only the cloudlifter inside doesnt work anymore or will the whole sm7db stop working when this is happen? best regards

@SeanDivine

You can bypass the internal preamp with the switch on the back, making it effectively identical to an sm7b.

What interface do you recommend as a beginner especially for this mic ?!

You’d have problems if it didn’t

Would you say this would be good mic for a un-treated basement? Or would the old sm7b be work just as good? I’m currently in the process of moving my studio to the basement but it’s not treated at all and it’s all concrete. I currently got a big rug to kinda help with acoustics and have some panels to put up but that’s about it for now. I want to get a vocal booth but they’re just super expensive. Just figured to see your thoughts. Trying to speed up my workflow.

@SeanDivine

The SM7b is one of the best mics for untreated rooms IMO. It's dynamic and doesn't pick up much ambience from the sides of the mic. If you don't have a great preamp, there's really no reason not to opt for the SM7dB.

@@SeanDivine Would you prefer buying the SM7db? Or just buying a SM7B with a clout lifter used? I appreciate you responding. Definitely helps A LOT!

@@SeanDivine Also this is random but you should make a preset just for this mic for people to use to brighten their vocals up or eq kinda like how you set it up it so it’s a little more clean. Would be dope to slap on before recoding or even after.

@@SeanDivine Would The sm7db be good if I have the scarlet solo 3rd gen? Probably going to pick one up here soon. But was just wondering before hand because I know some of those cloud lifters with the sm7b give it up to 60db of gain.

I do have a question. Currently I'm using a Condenser Microphone with a 48V Phantom Power Supply, and I'm considering buying the Shure SM7dB. Do I also need to buy an audio interface to give it more gain even with the +18 / +28dB clean boost? And how much gain are you still giving it via your audio interface? Great video though! :)

okay but with this one do I need to buy anything else to properly use it like the regular SM7?

@SeanDivine

Nope, just an audio interface with phantom power.

Nope, still have it

Doubled in Price. Original model with Good Preamp may Be Less expensive Solution. Built in Preamp design all in one Not Bad at all. With So many mics to Choose From that do The Same, this boils down to Hype. My Friend Bruce Brought The Original SM7 into the spotlight By Using it to record Michaels Vocals on ‘Thriller’. He Loved Royer Ribbons, and Neumann also. There are Many Mics to use that work well For Podcasting, Some Not so Expensive and Well below $500 pricepoint. IF It sounds Great, Use it. If handy with assembly There are Kits to assemble yourself that Contains all the Parts.

yo can I get that SM7B big dog? Lol

Just got this mic and can definitely hear the noise floor BADLY! How do you fix that?

Or you can just get a Blue Sona looks better and is cheaper.

Het the triton lifter, $50 bucks sounds great.
