So.....my wife was wondering why the hell I was holding up a lighter, 3/4 of the way through this video (I don't even smoke, but I am from that era). GREAT SONG, man! And great review as well.....more of the same quality we always expect from you. Nice to see everything back to normal....as far as we can tell. I am biased. I don't like to get/use certain things when everyone else has one. Yes, I see the SM7B on SO MANY RU-vid channels. But I think you can understand my bias since you use the MK-012 for your videos. BTW, my MK-012 just arrived Saturday. Being the King of Cheap I landed mine for $160, minus the wood box, but it still produces the same wonderful sound. Mine will be used for indoor dialogue on film sets. All that being said, I believe it's great that Shure listened to its customers and came out with this version of the mic. These kinds of actions really get the attention of their customers, but more importantly, their potential customers. Maybe some day they will listen to you about the low cut filter.....if enough other people also point out its excessiveness. I think Shure has a winner with this mic, especially with dilithium crystals providing "more power."

@TheRecordist 3 месяца назад

Hahaha. Hey man! Thanks for the kind words! Yes the Oktava has a great sound and it takes EQ really well. That’s a great price for yours! You’ll love it! Just baby it. I find they’re a bit temperamental in high humidity. They’re also terrible for handling noise. But that’s easily dealt with if you expect it. And Shure definitely did it again! It’s great they’re listening to their customers. I agree. I think, though, that if they changed the low roll-off, it wouldn’t feel like the SM7B. They knew that people need to know it’s the same mic. Either way. They did a great job! Thanks once again for the awesome comments, my friend!

I'm a day late due to some personal things, but ANOTHER banger! Makes sense on why I'm almost maxed on Scarlett solo 3rd gen for my MV7 lol. Not sure how I feel about the DB, but I've always wanted one.

@TheRecordist 3 месяца назад

Hey! I hope all is well! If you like your MV7 but need more power, you might look into the sE Electronics Dynamite inline preamp. But if your heart is set on an SM7B, you cannot go wrong with the SM7dB!

@Kemuridajit 3 месяца назад

I got it when it first dropped as a gift from my fiance, but aside the plosives and few other nitpicks I thinks its solid. I should've went for the DCM8 for a little extra in all honesty. I'll likely do as you suggested! :) @@TheRecordist

@TheRecordist Месяц назад

Hahaha. Agreed. No need to upgrade when you’ve already got the original!

@JimKinkade 4 месяца назад

I’m rolling on the floor laughing because it’s “dB,” which is the abbreviation for decibels, a logarithmic scale for measuring sound intensity. Sorry to drop so much #science in the comments.

@TheRecordist 3 месяца назад

Haha. Yes. You are correct. The Shure SM7dB has a switch that boosts the signal by either 18dB or 28dB. I think it was a fitting name. Cheers!

Well, what can I say? Joyfully, you are back. Fully back. Like completely normal as if nothing happened. How can I be so sure? Let me quote you, yourself: "Let's get nice and close... How's it going, SM7dB?... You're very large..." Nuff said? I think so.

@Underhills 2 месяца назад

Can someone pls tell me why so many people in the voice over industry prefer expensive tube or condenser mics while podcast and broadcast mics are almost ALWAYS dynamic? A voice is a voice - right? When watching reviews on mics for voice over work it's always condensers from Neumann, AKG or something else costing a leg, but when I watch podcast streams there's always some dynamic mic in the studio, from Shure, Røde etc. They are all speaking into a mic so what's so different with the voice over industry?

@TheRecordist 2 месяца назад

That’s a very good question with a very easy answer. Condenser mics are far more articulate. You can hear all the subtle nuances in a human voice. They sound lush and full and even and almost right next to your ear. But they also pick up everything around. They can hear a pin drop. So, unless you’re in a voiceover booth or otherwise treated space, it’ll pick up the bounce and echos and traffic outside and everything in between. Dynamic mics are much more directional. They tend to reject what isn’t directly in front of them. This makes them a great choice for untreated spaces, noisy spaces, or spaces with several people talking into their own mics at once. But dynamic mics are not as articulate and lush sounding. They’re kind of subdued. Almost compressed sounding. The other reason is if there is more than one mic running in an room, you have a 50/50 chance of running into a phase issue with condensers, since they’ll pick up what the guy across the room is saying along with what you’re saying. This can cause terrible phase issues. All eliminated with dynamic mics. Radio stations are the same. They’re not as quiet as you’d think. And they often have guests. Dynamic mics like the EV RE20, or even the SM7B are chosen for that purpose. But not always. Hope this helps!

@Underhills 2 месяца назад

@@TheRecordist Thanks for the explanation! Much appreciated. I've seen some cases where VO artists use the Sennheiser MKH 416, I belivede that was a dynamic mic cause it's used much in the broadcasting industry, but it says "interference tube microphone." So is that a condenser mic too? I guess it's used in VO to create a narrower sound image.

@TheRecordist 2 месяца назад

@@Underhills no worries. The 416 is a condenser mic. It’s a small diaphragm condenser mic with an interference tube. This is designed to greatly reject sounds other than what it’s pointing at. The 416 was developed as a movie set microphone (boom mic) and was the #1 mic used in movies for years and years. It’s still used in movie production. It was adopted for voiceover work not due to preference, but due to a famous voiceover announcer who suffered from paranoia. He thought the producers and engineers were talking about him in the control room while he was isolated in the booth. He demanded he record all of his voiceovers in the control room with everyone else. So the engineer needed to find a mic that isolated him from the sounds of the room. All he had was a 416. Then it caught on because other voiceover artists heard this guy regularly on the 416 and so they wanted to sound like him too. Before long, it became a regular staple for announcer/commercial style voice work. The more you know!
