While looking for an upgrade to my Rode NT-USB mic, I fell across the Shure SM7B. I quickly looked up reviews of this mic to see if it lived up to all of the hype that streamers and music producers gave it. I finally decided to invest and purchased the SM7B. Compared to my Rode mic, I was blown away with the quality difference and instantly knew that the hype was not exaggerated. It has a very nice response and picks up the vocal tones extremely well. The SM7B makes me want to go into voice acting just because how amazing it makes my voice sound. There is a good amount of bass response and depending on your style of recording you may need to use the included switches on the bottom to adjust the response.
It's built extremely well and compared to other studio microphones I have tried, I really like the way this one is mounted. The XLR port is in a very handy location (unlike other mics where it comes out of the bottom of the mic). The SM7B comes with two different foam pop filters, a close proximity filter (the larger one that lets you get closer to the mic) and the smaller filter which is good for normal distances.
I use the SM7B for streaming and voiceovers and it has helped improve my quality immensely.
Since I'm using the SM7B with the Scarlett 2i2 USB interface, I needed a preamp to boost the gain cleanly. I went with the Cloudlifter CL-1 and it sounds amazing. I would definitely recommend going with the Cloudlifter as other preamps could introduce noise, but if you are on a budget, there are other options out there.
If you're looking for a microphone that will last you a long time and sounds amazing, I would recommend looking into the Shure SM7B. Shure it's pricey...(see what I did there ;) but it's worth every cent, and I'd definitely purchase it again!
If you have any questions about the microphone or my review, send me a message and I'll definitely help out!
