Shure SM7B Microphone with Cloudlifter CL-1 Mic Activator – DJ Package
Get the best performance from your award-winning SM7B microphone by adding a Cloudlifter. What is a Cloudlifter you ask and why do I need this? The SM7B has a low output which requires a high gain preamp of some kind. If you have a professional high-quality preamp you might not need one actually.
However; with most low-cost audio interfaces, you’ll need a way to boost the signal easily and without adding coloration or noise. The Cloudlifter CL-1 does just that. Using a Cloudlifter to boost the signal of your SM7B is the easiest and cleanest way to quickly boost your signal and get that “hot mic” sound from your recording or podcast setup.
Keep in mind you can use the Cloudlifter on any of your other dynamic microphones like your SM58! It will make your mic sound much hotter into the board/interface and just sound better and cleaner.
The Cloudlifter works by converting 48v phantom power into a signal boost right there at your microphone. Many users will actually mount the Cloudlifter inline right on the mic stand with a velcro strap. You can run the Cloudlifter behind your board or interface but it’s best to run it as close to the mic as possible to get the cleanest signal and best results.
Shure SM7B Cardioid Dynamic Studio Vocal Microphone
The SM7B is the preferred mic Joe Rogan and other podcasters use daily. It’s also a professional vocal mic for singing and book on tape recordings where you want to sound your best. Rich warm vocal recordings in close-proximity studio applications.
The SM7B is a selectable frequency response microphone that delivers warm and smooth audio in close-proximity studio and vocal applications. Optimized shielding from the external electromagnetic hum, along with internal shock mounting, external windscreens, and adjustable bass roll-off and midrange emphasis response settings provide clean, consistent reproduction.
Whether it is broadcast, podcast, or recording, voices need to be handled with care. When purified and polished, every detail has more impact. That is why the SM7B was built, to capture smooth, warm vocals that connect the speaker to the listener.
How It Works:
The wide-range frequency response of the SM7B preserves the natural beauty of the sound it captures. With its detailed audio profile, words may travel far, but they always arrive at their destination with quality and clarity intact.
Only good air gets through:
The air suspension shock isolation and the pop filter eliminate both mechanical noise and breathiness. So, words get through and the rest stays out of the mix.
Uniform capture:
The classic cardioid pattern is designed to reject off-axis audio. So, you can sing or speak at a comfortable angle and it captures the sound, just as you want it, with minimum coloration.
Shield your sound:
We added advanced electromagnetic shielding to defeat hum from computer monitors and other studio equipment.
