Which one is your favorite?

[@trick700]

The first two mikes had the richest sound, not much between them. The SM7 was different side by side but not sure it would be noticeable if a podcaster chose to use it all the time

[@podsoundschool]

@@trick700 I Agree! you can rally notice a difference between the SM7s and the MV7. It's a matter of taste. You can use the SM7B with a cloud lifter or ditch the could lister and use the SM7dB. Thank you for watching. Veronica

[@KaaNoFPS]

clearly SM7B

[@ShinilPayamal]

If money is not an issue, the SM7dB is a great choice. The MV7 is great value for money.😊🎙

[@podsoundschool]

Hi Shinil! I agree. The MV7 is great microphone but you can definitely hear the difference in quality. Thank you for stopping by!

[@ShinilPayamal]

@@podsoundschool Correct. After all, there is a reason for the price difference. You get what you pay for.😊

Is an audio interface still required for the SM7dB? I currently use a 48V phantom power supply to connect my condenser microphone to my PC. Is it enough to connect the SM7dB to my phantom power supply or do I need an audio interface? Amazing video! :)

SM7B with Universal Volt 1 . Sounds great zero noise from roaring up the gain . Can get both for 450€. Cloudlifter isnt needed . Some people probably don’t know about Universal Audio since they’re known for expensive high end equipment . But they released a few years ago consumer grade Interfaces like the Volt(1,2,) and Volt 76 ( 176,276, 476) . The amps inside them eliminate the need for Cloudlifters or fetheads . The Volt 1 costs around 140 , the Volt 176 around 180. The 76 series comes with a hardware compressor , the standard has just presence booster.

[@thori0n264]

Every other Audio Interface below 200 requires a Cloudlifter .

[@podsoundschool]

True. We use our SM7B with our SSL 2+ without the cloudlifter.
