Shure SM7b Mount - How To Invert, Flip, Adjust, Reverse, or Modify 

You’re a life saver. Literally spent 30 minutes trying to figure out why the mic wouldn’t stay in place.

Youre the only guy who took apart the side knobs and explained which washers went where. All the washers in mine fell out when I unscrewed them and I couldnt figure out the order of them for the life of me. Thank you

Thanks for 2:46. I was going crazy trying to figure out why my SM7B wasn't tightening. Thanks!

To anyone (like me) who couldn't get that damn golden round thingy to seed in correctly, what he does with the knife is gently push around the plastic washer. You need to make sure the plastic washer is actually in the middle and not slightly off in any direction. Hope that helps, and great video btw.

I could not for the life of me figure out why my mic had no tension and was flopping into a weird position constantly. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

I've been meaning to try this out for awhile, neat little way to keep cable management and esthetics looking good for certain setups.

Super helpful! That little tip for adjusting the washers so the ring would rest properly saved me. Thanks!

This is a brilliant video, thanks so much for taking the efforts to make it. Went with your recommended approach to swap the bracket and it worked a treat. As per what some others have said in the comments, watch out for the small golden washer that sits between the five pieces, it's really important that this is in tight with the first two that go in (2:10 in the video for an image of how these go together, it literally sits between these two and goes inside the two on the left). I found that putting these two on first, then the bracket, then getting the golden washer to sit between the bracket and the first two, was the ticket). Then afterwards, add the others and hand tighten.

literally relieved all my stresss i had for the past few months bc i couldn't figure out the order of them as well as why my mic was soooo loose! you have no idea... thank you so much

The fastening part.. God, I would've been a goner without you, having a swing for a microphone and not knowing what to do about it. Thank you very much, great content

Dude, this was indeed a lifesaver... took the mount apart, but could not get it to tighten properly.... reviewed this video and nailed it! Thank you!

My microphone has been in the most awkward position for so long. Thank you so much

Javier to the rescue once again!!! Thanks for this tip! I just got a new stand for my SM7B, and you helped with my OCD/frustration... even 3 years after posting. I appreciate you!

Excellent video, short but included all the very small details needed!!! Thank you!

Wow. Thanks for this! Concise, clear, and got my loose sm7b fixed in minutes.

I was having a lot of trouble diassembling the Shure and your video was reaaaaally helpful. Thanks for it :)

Very helpful. Thank you. You answered a question I didn’t know I had. I came here looking for the best stand because I didn’t like how mine looked with XLR on top. Turns out I just needed to flip it like you did.

This video is the only one where I have seen that they teach this, it is tremendous, subtle, and serves a lot to better manage the cables. great video

Yeah, that little barrel type washer is a pain. I have found rotating it while pushing inwards until you see it move is a good tip.

The ring pushing into the washers closest to the mic had me for quite a while. Thank you for the clear and concise walk through!

I took the mic apart and forgot what order the rings were supposed to go. This video saved me so much time and energy. Thank you so much!

You are a legend… Couldn’t for the life of me work out what I did wrong as I took all of the washers and barrels out in very careful order and laid them out on a table.. you saved me hours!

Keep coming back to this video love it thank you!

Dude, thanks for making this! I was regretting ever messing with the mic to try and get my ideal position 😄

I knew RU-vid had the answer. Thanks for this video! The manual included with the mic doesn't say much. You rock! 😎

Great video, love all the little tips and overall straight to the point.

thank you. Your video was very helpful. Thanks to you, I managed to put all the washer in the same order!

Thank you! This video was a huge help in fixing a simple problem that was making me lose sleep.

Thank you for making this video, the modifications are not only easy to follow but it’s well presented.

Javier - You're a life saver. For all my knowledge of tech and stuff I couldn't figure out how to get the screws to fit back. Thanks for making this video. I'll buy you a beer 🍺

I can confirm the new SM7dB is built the same way and this videos was perfect 👌

Thank you SO much! That was amazingly helpful. That little 'O' ring was the culprit! Cheers! 😄

Hey thanks for making this video it really helped out a lot

Niiiiiiice! I flipped it and was having problems with the tension but thanks to your video now it's great!! Thanks!

Just what I was looking for. Well done.

Thank God for this video! You probably just saved me two hours LOL I’ve been sitting here for 45 minutes and I think maybe I drop the washer so I need to look for it LOL but this was really helpful! Thank you for posting

Just what I was looking for. Thanks!

Great Tutorial I recently used this tutorial and found it incredibly helpful. However, there's one issue I encountered that I want to highlight. The lever on the front side was obstructing, making it difficult to insert the XLR cable without risking damage. Even a slight movement could potentially harm the XLR connector. After some searching, I discovered that there are extension tubes available, but dealing with two connections seemed like an unnecessary hassle, especially considering the possibility of loose screws causing additional problems. Thankfully, I found a simple solution: flipping the XLR connector. Thanks to this workaround, I was able to use my mount without any further issues since the connector now sits behind, avoiding any obstruction. Overall, the tutorial was excellent, but I wanted to share this tip for anyone facing similar challenges.

this was super helpful. i couldn't get mine to tighen properly. thank you for the vid!

Thanks Javier, very informative & important !

Great stuff thanks man. I flipped my mic a while back and used Mole grips to tighten 🙈. After watching this I see where I went wrong. 🙌🏼

This video saved me tons of minutes/hours figuring out how to mount it back, I was dealing with the ring thing around 30min before finding out your video, thanks man

So helpful. Thank you!

Dude my mic fell apart randomly and this video saved me. Thank you!

Yes that was very helpful. Man I thought I some how broke something because my sm7b was not tightening..Thanks man. You the man.

I Appreciate this video Javier! Fixed my SM7B in my school studio. :D

2:50 that's why I'm here 🤣. I just did this and started panicking thinking it was broke

Super helpful. Thank you.

Thanks for this video. I took mine apart and had washers flying everywhere. This helped me out.

I feel embarrassed over how confused this re-assembly had me. Thank you so much for making this video! You restored my brain. -Dragon Rapid

Thank you, just got it and was trying to figurethis out!

Amazing info man! Thank you so much for the tips, we’re utilizing these improvements with our shure mics now. Earned a sub from us!

Yup... 1st and last stop for the information I needed! 10/10, subscribed!

Thanks so much for this! Great instructions!

Thanks, just what I needed

Very useful, thank you!

thank you so much. I've got mine for less than a year and it just dropped from the stand and I had to clue how to reassamble. Very helpful video.

Huge help thankyou it was the gold part that messed me up thankyou

So helpful man thank you

When you unscrew it and all the washers fall out onto your desk so you think "someone on YT will help me get these back in order". NAILED IT.

I just woke up & must have dreamt of this problem so thanks for this. It was just what I needed

Great instructional video! I started the process and then figured I could use some Utube help. Your walk thru was super.

I‘m so thankful for this video! Thumbs up 👍!

Thank you, it helped a lot!

Great video. Thanks man

Thank you, just what I needed :D

Thanks so much for this. Couldn’t figure out why it wouldnt tighten in place after reversing the mount. 🤦‍♂️

Absolute legend.

One more thing to add to this: the Shure plate that comes in the box, you can mount it on the back by removing two of the screws (it hides the switches) great video! When I switched the yoke around, I had that same problem. Wish I would've seen this video when I did it. It wouldn't of taken as long haha

THANK YOU!!!

Thanks for this man!

Lol... You demonstrate all the issues I was having trying to put that thing back together! Don't know why they had to make so annoying to put back together. Great help bro!

Thanks fam, big help ✊🏿

Excellent. Thank you.

Thanks for all of the detail! Helped me get mine nice n tight :)

Thank you for this!!!

Thanks for the help.

Thank you. This really helped.

This video was great, I was watching a tv show and tinkered with the mic, and couldn't figure out how to get it fixed

Im here today & actually tried this. Before i was only watching..😁so after taking it apart i do have that issue of seating the "ring". I will update if i ever get it to tighten🙂again thankyou for this video Javier🙃😊UPDATE: After much tedious perseverance..it worked! What an adventure but worth the customization you guys!!! Appreciate you!

Awesome! Thank you... simple and to the point! Super cool shirt too : )

Thank you man.

thank you!!! life saver today!!!

Damn, glad I searched this up. I had no clue you could actually do this and thought, damn the cable that connects the mic to the XLR cable is kinda short, I wish I could change the side the XLR is on cause that makes me nervous. Boom, problem solved. Thanks dude!

Basically the exact same setup for the sm7db 👍🙌

merci!! parfaite explication et en peu de temps

You wouldn’t think i needed this video but ya know what... i did. Thank you

thank you so much! video was great. thanks for your help!

شكرا يا رجال حي عينك يا الافضل ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thanks man❤

Thank you! It’s work prefect.. Thank you

Thank you sir!!! THANK YOUUUUU

Thank you! Seriously could NOT figure out the proper configuration of the washers. Had ONE out of place and I couldn’t get the mic to stay snug against the mounting arm anymore. Fixed!

Champion, thanks dude!

I understood I needed to get the brass cylinder through the washers, but was having trouble. The butter knife was the "light bulb" I needed. Good looking out 👍 I came up with another SM7B "hack"...I put a little rubber foot off of a guitar stomp box pedal on the part of the mic where it comes into contact top of the XLR cylinder. It prevents the metal-on-metal contact

Thank you so very much !!!

Legend mate. That little brass thing is sneaky. This fixed it right up. All the best from sunny Australia

thank you very much!

Thanks a lot!

Thank you so much
