Elgato Wave DX vs Shure SM7B: Find the Best Mic for Your Setup

[@realmexicanjoker]

Best unbiased opinion of microphones I've seen. Thank you.

[@repentordiepodcast8738]

So which one is better from the 3? Elgatao sm7b or the podmic usb and original? Which one should I get,?

[@kettnercreative]

SM7B, Elgato Wave DX, and Rode Podmic, in that order.

[@zootopiashow]

I love your videos. Helped me a LOT in setting my home studio. I bought and returned lots of equipment, and settled with Shure SM7b and Rodecaster Duo! You really get what you pay for TBH 😅

[@kettnercreative]

Its true. Glad you found the gear that you like!

[@prodigy_xd]

Amazing comparison. Thank you!

[@DFresan]

Great review! thanks for the time you dedicated to do it!

[@fredcrewneck]

Recently upgrade my whole streaming setup and wanted to get rid of my old mic, thanks for this

[@Alizzgreat]

Definitely the best video I’ve seen

[@marylinkfr]

Excellent review ! thanks

[@jordkyo]

this really helped me i have SM7B and planning getting wave xlr mixer since goxlr won't be usable

[@waberoid]

The SM7B works with my GoXLR.

[@jordkyo]

@@waberoid i could be wrong but goxlr software team was laid off so there no updates going for it and if there no updates windows at some point won't support it i heard there way around it but tbh probably better just get new mixer

[@haies09]

Can you make a video on the best settings for a MV7 on the RodeCaster Duo?

[@kettnercreative]

Probably, it’ll be a while though

[@haies09]

@@kettnercreative I followed your guide for the GoXLR but I switched over to the Duo and I’m lost on the EQ and Noise Gate settings, so much appreciated if you do

[@charbelLife]

Help there, I’m buying and Sm7b what would you consider the best stand alone interface for it ? I’m not a musician is mainly for content creation and voiceovers, thank you so much

[@kettnercreative]

Scarlett 2i2, Elgato Wave XLR, or Rodecaster Duo. All of them have enough gain to power the SM7B directly.

[@charbelLife]

@@kettnercreative I was set on the wave XLR, is the noise from the pre amps to loud ? I saw a graph taut was something like -131db, is that good enough to not be an issue?

[@kettnercreative]

@@charbelLife It's not an issue. I still think it's a great preamp, especially if you're in the Elgato ecosystem already. if you hate the noise, you can always add a Cloudlifter, etc. But IMO, it's not an issue.

[@charbelLife]

@@kettnercreative I’m not, but since I’m a noob in audio, the fact that it has 75gb of gain + free VST on wavelink had me sold, I was just curious about if the noise would be too significant, here (I’m from Brazil) a cloudlifter is literally more expensive than most interface, I appreciate you taking your time to talk to me and explain, I truly enjoy your videos

[@charbelLife]

@@kettnercreative I saw you mentioned 2i2 and not the solo, is there a reason ? Both solo(4th gen) and XLR are the same price currently here, but I saw somewhere that the solo doesn’t have 69db of gain, that only the 2i2 does, is that true ?

[@BrixsDNAfortnite]

Amazing versus! Just found your channel and love it! New sub. By the way, could you guess which mic Im using on my videos? 🤭

[@Potpot103]

Is it possible to connect the elgato dx with out the xlr interface into the audio mixer?thankyou

[@I-F-R]

No its xlr only
