Got one from guitar center great mic does wonderful things if u know how to mix it this mic sounds clean and powerful its the best dynamic microphone ever if you know sound dynamics mics are punchy powerful then mic is clean and poweful but its not a neumann stop saying or comparing the neumann u87 is the king of clear condensed polished sound you have to pre eq this mic definetly for vocals in music but not much tho with that being said this is one of the only mics that sound good on everybody

I would recommend these mics to anyone who has the money laying around, be it from a bonus at work, having more money than sense, coming into some money from an inheritance or making a living as a grifter-no judgement

These mics are great and they are the ones that most podcasters in the know use.

Every microphone creates an innate noise floor just by virtue of the electronics, but a decent mic (even dynamic mics like the SM58 or Samson Q2U) will typically drown out the noise floor with the actual signal

Yes, but inspect problemsAre their better mics

I love these mics

CL-1" which apparently "Gives passive mics up to +25dB of additional clean active output (volume)

I've worked in a studio that had a Neve console and many classic mics like the Neumann U87

I’ve owned cheap 10$ mics to $300 mics

In this price range in terms of dynamic mics, which I need because I record from home without the benefit of a quiet studio

So many people blindly recommend this mic for all applications, but there are a lot of amazing mics out there that will do just as good of a job.

It does shootouts with some of the best mics in the industry for a reason

Some mics will shine on one source and not another and that is true with this mic

Honestly, there are cheaper condenser mics that work better for voice over work and podcasting

If you sing softly all of the time you really don't need one of these dynamic mics, and would be better off with the standard Large Condenser mics as listed above

Basically the cloudlifter lets you phantom power your dynamic mic (dynamic mics don't directly take phantom power)

I can even compare mics live for you if you'd like the hear the differences!I hope you have a good

Easily one of the best sounding mics on the market for the money

I see everybody using these, but they aren't great mics

I have a wide variety of good mics but this is my go to for most vocals, drums (I have used it for everything except overheads) and guitar cabs

All three are great mics for my use cases

If you are thinking about getting a microphone it is absolutely worth it to save up and go for this first, I much regret buying the other mics at all because this thing is just tops

Other mics work with all the same equipment / signal flow.

I have other, less expensive dynamic mics and as you imagine, you get what you pay for

Dynamic mics just sit really well with me

I tried various USB, Condenser and Dynamic mics

Shure makes the best mics in the business and the SM7B doesn't disappoint

I got this to replace my AT2020 because I learned that Dynamic mics are better for picking up vocals only in front of the mic itself, and that's exactly what this does

One of the best sounding mics I've had

I have other, less expensive dynamic mics and as you imagine, you get what you pay for

I wanted to like all the mics ive bought

This is just the physics/science of microphones: dynamic mics handle loud sounds better, condensers handle delicate things better

With thousands of dollars in my microphone drawer -- dynamics and condensers, classics and new -- I kick myself for not buying this mic sooner because this $350 bargain has now become my first choice for every vocal project.

C-1 Best I think, but they are close.

I think I've found a good balance with the SM7 recently where the S:N is better than many of my condensers
