Loud Noise On Shure Sm 7B Microphone

I needed something to boost the output of my Shure SM-7B, but wanted to know if I could save 50 bucks by buying this instead of the Cloudlifter. Ordered from B&H (came the very next day even though I ordered it late in the afternoon!), and compared it with my friends Cloudlifter at his project studio. Bottom line-the DM-1 had more output, both were very quiet (technically, the DM-1 has a lower noise spec, but both were basically noiseless), and the Cloudlifter had a more hefty build quality (not that the DM-1 feels cheap or anything...the Cloudlifter just had more heft). One other advantage to the DM-1 was that I could simply plug it directly into my SM-7 so I didnt need another cable to hook it up. The DM-1 works great and saved me some money, so Im happy!

Flawless. This a Shure direct replacement cover. It also fits the SM-58 wireless microphone which is why I purchased it.

Not much to say here, other then, at least as far as I can tell this new part is an exact replacement for what was a original windscreen on my Shure Sm-7 microphone. Perfect fit, took about 10 seconds to install. All is good! Couldn't have been easier.

I have a Shure 55SH and it is not known for being a very sensitive microphone. It looks great on my desk but was not getting used much since I had to crank the mixer gain up adding a lot of noise. I have the Mackie Big Knob studio (love it!) and it has 48 volts out (phantom power) so it was easy to plug it in the back inline with the XLR mic cable. So now I have a lot more volume and a lot less noise.

After much deliberation in which hand-held microphone to purchase, I eventually settled on the Shure SM63L. Intending to use the microphone in a crowded convention setting, the lack of initial reviews had me a little nervous. I'm happy to report that any doubt was unfounded. While it wasn't used in the very crowded show floor, it was used in slightly less crowded areas and preformed very well. As an Omni microphone, you were able to hear background noise, but the subject speaking was very distinct from other noise. In interviews, the microphone preformed well again, giving good audio when held between subjects. Some volume loss was experienced (and expected) if the microphone wasn't pointed at, or held evenly between subjects. Due to budget and time circumstances, I intended to use this microphone on an XLR splitter with another microphone which required phantom power. Unable to contact Shure before the event, I did not end up utilizing this setup, opting instead to use the mics separately. In speaking with a Shure representative after the event, they assured me this microphone would NOT be damaged by phantom power (Note: Confirm with Shure before attempting). I feel the microphone could use slightly better bass sensitivity, but if the trade-off was less handheld noise (to which this microphone seems very good at preventing) I'm willing to live with that. I'd very highly recommend this microphone for interview and reporting style work and even light/quick voice-over work. Looking forward to using this microphone more in the future.

I bought this for a shure SM89 shootgun microphone. But was pleased to find out that with the purchase of the number 2 extenison I can also use it with my Neumann kmr 82i and Sennheiser MKH-70. So it is very versatile. The noise is virtually eliminated with this. I use it in the studio with out the fur and outside in windy conditions with it. The shock system is this really reduces the handling noise to next to nothing. One note to new people. It twists on and off. So when it arrives you just twist off the ends and it opens up.

Quality is great, hearing is great, even noise cancellation is great. The microphone does pick up some background noise, but only if the background noise is just as loud as you are. Works well in a bullpen.

The words are short, it's a Shure microphone ...

IS LIGHT, SOUNDS LIKE AN SHURE SM-10 THAT I USED FOR AWHILE 14 YRS.

The Shure SM 57 has been a workhorse go to instrumental mic for many years. The Beta 57A makes incremental improvements while retaining the things that made the 57 so great.
