I've gone down the Kettner rabbit hole and you're answering all my questions. Many many thanks

@spoonest 5 месяцев назад

Your reviews are the best as always!

@leeforrester466 6 месяцев назад

Thank you Sir for another great review!

@YolandaCalvo Год назад

Hello, thank you very much for your videos that have helped me a lot. Following your tutorials I bought the vocaster two for the Shure SM7B. However, sometimes I do notice a bit of hiss. I wonder if, although the vocaster has good preamps, it would gain a cleaner sound with the dm1 dynamite. Thank you so much.

@TheGeekGauntletPodcast Год назад

I love the SE Dynamite. It’s awesome

@javilaroid 16 дней назад

so useful thank you!

@alzhaimar 5 месяцев назад

Loved the sound of the cloudlifter, by specs I was with the dynamite initially though

@ravindrag6121 9 месяцев назад

Cloud lifter sounded way cleaner than dynamite. Probably JFET circuit did the magic

@FrostyBrows 9 месяцев назад

You are very helpful.

@patlager2110 Год назад

How did you make your boom arm cover? It looks great!

@vtrestrail 7 месяцев назад

Thank you for this video. I bought a Rode NT2A and the gain is very low. What interface do you recommend?

@kettnercreative 7 месяцев назад

These preamps won't work wtih the NT2A because it's a condenser microphone. If you're wanting an interface, I recommend the Scarlett 2i2 4th Gen, Rode AI-1, or SSL2+

@austinseder 3 месяца назад

Super helpful and just the right amount of information. Also, he sounds almost exactly like Chris Bumstead, haha.

@twiistrg7225 Год назад

Which would you recommend to run with the universal audio volt 1

@demospongiae3893 Год назад

Thanks for the video! I think I'll buy the sm7b and dynamite for my focusrite

@kettnercreative Год назад

Nice combo!

@KozyrYouTube 9 месяцев назад

Can you please tell me which microphone is on the right?

@CneeKrunch 11 месяцев назад

So would these pre-amps work for a Aston Spirit?

@PBandJ_100. Год назад

Not to be rude but in your older videos when you had a buzz cut you look like Kevin Wembell Crumb from the movie glass. Like I said this is not to be rude I just think It’s cool 😅

@chrisminer5884 Год назад

The Fethead works well

@WreckageMG Год назад

I just picked up a cloud lifter with my goxlr because when I turned the gain up on the goxlr I got alot of hiss this allows me to have more gain without turning it up on the goxlr !

@yonleiby 8 месяцев назад

Thanks il go with the dinamite

@PBandJ_100. Год назад

Which should I use for my audio technica 2020 XLR?

@kettnercreative Год назад

You don't need an inline preamp for the AT2020 since it's a condenser mic. In fact, it will make your AT2020 not work. You could use one with an AT2040 though!

@jimrock3675 Год назад

This is SO helpful, thank you! Burning question: is this type of rig (Shure SM7B, audio interface, XLR cables, preamp) appropriate for just regular Zoom and Teams calls, to provide superior audio input, or is it over-engineering the situation? I have a Blue Yeti direct into a iMac now, and it's better than the 3-mic array on the iMac (so says my colleagues on the other end of the meetings - but is this next step even better? I'm fine with the investment if it improves the situation, but wonder if this rig is only for content creators, and not regular video calls? 2nd question, is it OK to use the DM2 instead of the DM1 preamp, as it is only $25 more and slightly better specs - but is it compatible with this rig and signal path design?

@Kyleforthe3SIKE Год назад

teams compresses your calls anyways, so its diminishing returns

@elaboratus 11 месяцев назад

blue yeti is perfect for your use - unless you intend to take a step into the realm of amateur-professional recording for singing or content creation

@tedlovejesus 10 месяцев назад

You can have one step-up the game lol Try use products like SHURE x2u, which supports XLR microphones with just USB

@yevolution 5 месяцев назад

Trust me dude your Blue Yeti mic already does wonders on almost every platform (singing, voice overs, voice acting etc.) This Shure setup is for just taking it up to the next level of things. But, if you can blow the extra cash and it helps with your overall mentality, attitude and efficiency while in the work hours or calls then why not right? Just to share, I personally got the Fifine Ampligame AM8 just to get a taste of what dynamic mics do, plus its a USB TO PC setup, so its very convenient, but it still has the XLR capability so you can still plan to upgrade in the future like this SHURE setup.

@hsnorh8180 Год назад

Can we use the dynamite reverse? Normal use is audio interface to cable, cable to dynamite then to the mic. But if i were to audio interface to dynamite, then dynamite to cable, then to the mic. Is this possible or no effect at all? thanks in advance...👍

@kettnercreative Год назад

Yes it’s possible. It will work anywhere ‘inline’ that you put it. For best results (only slightly), you should have the dynamite as close to your mic as possible. That being said, it doesn’t really make a difference if you’re running less than 25ft fr your interface.

@hsnorh8180 Год назад

@@kettnercreative Thanks for the Info...🙏

@MarkOakleyComics 11 месяцев назад

My story: I made the mistake of buying discount XLR cables, and they introduced a degree of line noise on a 20 foot run. The preamps, when I put them on the control desk next to the computer, amplified that line noise along with the mic signal. The result was ugly and unusable. The problem was solved by switching the position of the preamps (a pair of Cloudlifters) so that they were now just a couple feet away from the mics. Then they were only boosting the desired signal, and the line noise was effectively gone, especially since I could keep the gain low on the receiving end.

@stevengrainger9073 10 месяцев назад

The JFET circuitry is supposed to superior to the FET circuitry. I think the Cloudlifter sounded much fuller and richer compared compared to the DM1. Why did you not mention the circuitry?
