How do you get the 48 volt phantom power? 1:20 - I bought the MVX2U Motiv 1x1 In-line XLR-USB Mic Interface - will this plugged usb into a computer power my preamp on the sm7db mic?
always on top I would like you to make a video about the reverb explaining how to do the deep vocals how to do it so well in your songs, I listened to your song not the same it's a best seller
i use my shure with a volt 1 interface, there alot of hissing and i use a rode xlr cable, i use it close to the mouth like in your video, i am shooketh
Very strange. The SM7db is a few years too late. Interfaces got better and better with more clean gain for cheap. Why did they release a SM7db so late?
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?
Thank you for the video. I think I still like the SM7B sound…but I’m in an untreated room, so...I’m looking for something for metal vocals - I have a Roland Rubix 24 interface and am trying to decide between the SM7dB or the SM7B and Cloudlifter. All advice appreciated, folks! Thanks x
The SM7b and SM7dB sound identical. The SM7Db has a cloudlifter built in (you can also turn it off, effectively making it an SM7b). No reason not to get the SM7dB at this point IMO.
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?
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.
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.
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! I sold mine awhile back because it wasn’t bright enough like how my bluebird mix is but I now know you can eq it so it is brighter and have a warmer tone.
@@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! :)
if i buy this do i need another pre amp or is the built in one all good? currently i have a focusright scarlett and if i buy this will i be able to use it without any additional equipment? thanks
@@SeanDivine can you suggest a set up that gets this connected? I am replacing a Yeti mic. Looking for something that is good enough and budget friendly. I’ll upgrade later if I can turn a profit.
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.
That’s crazy you basically don’t need the cloud lifter. When you record vocals through the SM7B do you usually record right up to it? I find I still get plosives
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.
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
Yeah that's my next purchase I'd rather spend $600 again than spend $10k helps with cost and leaves more room in my area without all that unnecessary equipment. Nice!
