    Previous mic was a hyperX quad cast; it was good but this is an entirely different beast and rightfully so. $400 is not cheap, but hey if you make videos and want to make the "highest quality content and settle for nothing but the best then why not".

    The SM7B has such clear audio, its crazy. I used it with a RodeCaster Pro II and came from the AT-2020. It really changed everything and got rid of the reverb and echos I had in previous mics. I went from hating my voice to loving it.

    I don't have experience with many other DSLR microphones but this one has been a game changer for me and my experience with singing and voice acting. I wish it would pick up my voice a little better but most of the producers that I have worked with said it sounds great to them

    The coveted SM7B, the dream mic of streamers and podcasters worldwide, is everything it's touted to be. Crisp, crystal clarity and a tight pickup range so nobody can hear your parents fighting in the background while you go 27/3 on Warzone. An absolute must-have if you're in need of a vocal mic.

    Sm7b is King

    This is one of the kings of all microphones need I say more? Okay I guess I can say a little bit, you absolutely need a mic preamp or a cloud lifter with at lease plus 20 decibel boost to take advantage of this mic... it is a very power hungry mic and needs a lot of gain. But once you get that taken care of it will treat you well the rest of your life. It's built like a tank.

    I purchased this mic simply because I see it every where and have heard it all over social media. It is absolutely amazing and works great with any audio interface. It is just like any other mic where you do have to tweak it a little bit to get it where you want, but right out the box it sounds great!

    Excellent microphone. I purchased with a Wave XLR and cloudlifter. This mic is good if you have knowledge of how to EQ and utilize post processing. I scooped a little bit out of the mids and raised the highs, also activated the presence boost. This mic really does sound amazing and I’ve gotten compliments on it from clients
