It's a good option that I may have gone for if it was available when I bought mine to replace my Sennheiser shotgun that I used for my podcast. I'm ok with the Shure SM7B/Cloudlifter/Audient iD14 setup. I also use a Synco Mic D2 for voiceover with the iD14. The $100 difference for the mic over the Cloudlifter won't make me switch, but your video shows well how well it works if you're just now investing in this gear that you can simplify your recording setup.

Such a great video! I’m going to buy this new microphone, I make videos as you can see and also stream, could you please tell me if I need something else besides de mic? Mixer? Something else like that? And also which boom arm do you recommend? Thank you ❤

Great video. I also preferred the SM7dB. The Rode and MV7 sounded like they were accentuating the sibilance. You could certainly fix that with plug-ins, but better to not have to deal with it.

Hi Dybba, Great video sir. I have a couple of questions for you, if you don't mind. 1) I'm looking at getting the Focusrite Vocaster One to use with the Shure SM7B. My first question is would using a Cloud Lifter result in any better audio than just using the Vocaster One by itself? 2) In looking into the Focusrite Vocaster One, it appears that it has a camera output. Does this mean that you can record audio from the Shure SM7B directly into the camera then? Would the audio be the same quality as recording into a computer? The camera I currently use is the Sony a6100 if that matters. Thanks!

I’m listening via monitoring headphones and I love the sound of the Shure MV7. It’s cleaner, you get that broadcast quality Shure is widely known for, doesn’t need a preamp, and it can be plugged into a computer via usb unlike the SM7B and SM7dB. As for the boomy sound, I’m sure it can be significantly improved by proper equalization, which we do anyway regardless of what mic we use. The only problem I noticed is how it handles plosives but I think it can be fixed by using a better windscreen or pop filter.

Great video man. Learned a lot! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Excellent comp, thanks. I've been watching YT reviews specifically to find a cheaper alternative to the SM7B, but they all only confirm that the SM7B has a warm fullness/smoothness that is unmatched, and I suspect listeners will be more prone to suffering ear fatigue on the cheaper mics, even if it's unconscious... Maybe the SE Dynacaster comes close, I dunno. I don't care for the MV7 at all, and for any of these $100-200 "broadcast" mics, IMHO you may as well just use a handheld 58 or an SE V7 or something... I already have some decent pres and a Fethead, so I'm hoping the new SM7dB brings down the street price/used price on the standard 7B without the internal preamp. Subscribed.

That's a smart move on their part. My issue with the SM7B is that it always sounds muffled. The highs are not very crisp. That *does* have the advantage of reducing mouth noises, however.

What are the chances of the built-in preamp failing? Should an external pre-amp paired with an SM7B fail, replacing the preamp seems a lot less stressful than repairing/replacing the whole mic itself. Thoughts?

I'm stoked there is no more cloudlifter necessary, but they priced this such that it's actually $75+ cheaper to buy the original SM7b & Cloudlifter together. $225 cheaper if you have an interface with a preamp built in. I don't think they quite thought their pricing through too well. Especially with all the new competition that are amazing on their own.

Is an audio interface still required for the SM7dB, or is a 48V phantom power supply enough?

An audio interface simply converts the signal from analog to digital, but also typically has gain controls. Regardless of the extra gain control… an audio interface is a MUST if you want to record this mic into a computer.

The thing is, even cheap interfaces like the Scarlett’s, they produce enough gain for the 7B. Basically every interface has been able to supply enough gain, and the noise performance between cloudlifter, vs not, is negligible. This has been tested a number of times, even with the Scarletts

Noise level between the sm7db and the sm7b with the cloudlifter was pretty similar... maybe a LITTLE bit better with the cloudlifter but not a hugely noticeable amount.

Or if I’m recording a vocalist who has a lot of power (I used to record most of my rock and screaming vocalists with this mic and maybe a condenser at the same time because this one sounds nice on the really loud stuff), then I don’t need that boost. But if I want to sit a good away and talk normally, the focusrite needs to be cranked right to the top and I find that then you can actually hear the preamp noise introduced on top of the mic noise. The cloudlifter seemed to work better for me in that case. But I’m happy to hear that others are finding they don’t need the cloudlifter. Then you can just go sm7b and save some cash!

Strange, I still hear the noise

the SM7B s biggest problem is also one it s biggest perks that make it the GOAT of the metal vocal world

I’m a picky person, but I think they should have taken away the branding, hide the stupid wire that sticks out, allow you to put a cap/cover over the switches and make the yolk look better. Then I would have bought it. I do like my things to look aesthetically pleasing. The Logitech Blue Sona is a good example.

I can get behind this!

Jus get a ElectroVoice RE-20. Sounds way better than Shure mics.

After getting the sm7b 5 months later... bruh moment

I just don't like the way it looks. There is a minimalism to the SM7b that is just perfect.

I agree with this. I wish it was matte.

WHY DOES IT STILL HAVE THE CABLE???

Yeah, with the low cut it sounds like a castrate a bit.

ngl without the branding on the side and the green accents it would be great...right now it just looks way less professional than the SM7B
