Shure Sm7B Microphone To Computer Setup

All I can say is Wow. You'll have to hear it to believe it. I tried it with a Shure SM7B microphone.

The Shure SM7B sounds incredible... when appropriately used. The first important thing to note is that this microphone is very quiet, so it needs about 50-60db of gain to get its signal up to usable volumes. Not all audio interfaces are created equal in this regard, so make sure yours has enough juice to power it. I needed to max out a Focusrite 18i8 (2nd gen)'s gain to get audible sound from it. Cranking your preamp's gain up so high may come with a price, and that's a low humming sound. It is possible to remedy this by providing the needed gain digitally or by adding a gate to the signal that targets and removes the hum, which is how I first heard the true potential of this microphone and became enamored by it. However, I ultimately opted to get a Cloudlifter CL-1 to do away with said hum and get a clean signal from the get-go. It works perfectly now. I can't recommend it enough.

Using this with a Shure SM7B Vocal Microphone and K&M PopKiller. I did have to use bungee cords in order to help support the weight on the Rode PSA1 Studio Boom Arm for Broadcast Microphones.

I recently added the Shure SM7B to my podcasting arsenal, pairing it with the Rodecaster Pro II, and the results have exceeded my expectations. **Effortless Setup: 5/5** The integration with the Rodecaster Pro II was seamless. The fact that the Rodcaster Pro II came pre-programmed for the SM7B made the setup a breeze. Within minutes, I was ready to hit record, thanks to the hassle-free configuration. **Outstanding Audio Quality: 5/5** The Shure SM7B's performance in the low frequencies is nothing short of amazing. The richness it adds to the lows is a game-changer for my podcast. The clarity is exactly what you'd desire for any vocal-centric content. It captures the nuances of my voice beautifully, making each episode sound professional and polished. **Versatility at its Best: 4.5/5** While specifically purchased for podcasting, the SM7B has proven its versatility. It adapts seamlessly to various vocal needs, making it a reliable choice not just for podcasters but also for anyone with diverse audio recording requirements. **Efficiency in Design: 4/5** The microphone's design exudes a classic and professional aesthetic. While it may not be the lightest option, the weight feels justified by the durable build. It instills confidence in its ability to withstand regular use. **Highly Recommended: 5/5** In conclusion, the Shure SM7B has significantly enhanced my podcasting experience. From its effortless integration with the Rodecaster Pro II to the remarkable audio quality, it stands out as a top-tier microphone. If you're serious about achieving exceptional audio for your podcast or any vocal projects, I highly recommend the Shure SM7B. Make the Shure SM7B your go-to microphone and take your podcasting journey to new heights.

I bought this product as another microphone for singing/podcast recording purposes. I've used Shure SM7B, which is legendary for many great reasons, but this microphone is my new favorite! I would highly recommend this mic to anyone who does voiceover, singing, and podcast work. It is pricey, but it definitely pays off!

I've using the Titan for a very odd use: as a microphone arm for a Shure SM7b, in a location that doesn't have enough space for normal scissors-style mic arm. It has more than enough strength to support both the mic plus a gain booster plugged straight into the mic, and it allows me to swing the mic up and out of the way quite easily. Build is as you'd expect at this price: solid as a rock. I expect this to last forever. Overall: it's pricey, but worth it.

The Shure SM7B is the standard as advertised. It may be the most versatile microphone in its price range. Novice and pro will get what they need from this product - a quality mic that lasts. As with most dynamic mics, pairing the SM7B with a powerful mic preamp or inline gain booster is recommended.

Holds the Shure SM7b like a champ. No issues at all.

This microphone came highly recommended. I need something for a FB live stream and the microphone and I’m glad I jumped. You need this version (video kit) of you want to record and stream. I found this out after I purchased this one as the cheaper microphone only version was sold out. I’m a musician and I got tons of compliments on the sound. I have a recording studio and really wanted to use my more expensive microphones but was not able to because I had to use either my iPhone or iPad for streaming because of the camera angle I needed. A computer would not have worked for my purposes. I have since also recorded a video and again the sound is surprisingly good. The only bummer is that you cannot use this mic for Zoom or FaceTime. This is not the fault of Shure. It’s because iOS (phones and iPads don’t have the software because APPLE has not updated the software to choose on board mics for these applications. I believe however, you would be able to use this mic for Zoom and FaceTime on your computer. I have not tried that yet so I can not verify. If my information is wrong please correct me but my internet searches seem to corroborate what I have said. The tripod seems well built but I cannot get the ball head to tilt. If it would tilt it would be infinitely more useful. The other accessories are useful and the roll up bag is appreciated. You will be able to charge your device and use this microphone if you use the Apple USB to lightning camera adapter. You can find this info on the Shure website. I followed the directions and it works. Great job Shure and Apple, please update the iOS!
