    Super good mic overall

    [Employee of bestbuy] I have the Shure SM7dB(obviously) paired with a Elgato Wave mic arm, Mogami Gold 6ft XLR cable, and a UA Volt 1 interface. This set ensures that the mic can performto its best ability while still being relatively budgt friendly. The mics outout is extremely crisp and is super nice to use. The pre-amp on the back is very easy to use and is fun to mess around with to get the perfect output. I love this mic, and would definitely buy it again if I had to.
