User questions & answers

Question:	Can you connect multiple mv7 mics to the same computer via usb
Answer:	It’s maye a ruler and a half. If you purchase it make sure you apply the resin to the bow otherwise you will assume it doesn’t work 😂 my 4 year old loves it
Question:	Has anyone used this mic with the rode psa1 microphone boom - mainly, is the mic heavy enough
Answer:	It's very delicate, but it's a real violin. You could start with the Suzuki method and see if the 5 year old likes to play it. If so, you can decide to rent or buy a violin that fits the size of the child as she grows. The price is good as a starter instrument, and the pink color is adorable.
Question:	Being that this is a condenser mic, how much background noise does it pick up
Answer:	This is a small child size violin (3-5 years old). It can only be used with formal violin instruction by a violin teacher. The child can play the strings with the bow but it is not easy to play any tune without violin lessons.
Question:	why is this using micro usb? does this company know about USB type C
Answer:	This is a real violin perfect size for a 4-5 year old. My granddaughter like many girls, likes pink. She might take Suzuki lessons on it.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it come with a mic stand or shock mount to hold it or do I need to buy my own? Also If I need my own what do you suggest
Answer:	This microphone has it's own mount, that provides slight separation from any vibration noise. There is no elastic suspension "shock mount" available for this unit - but is a very rugged mic that can take a beating. Any decent stand will do... but because the SM7B is fairly heavy, I'd advise if your going to hang it off a boom stand, I'd find a sturdy one with a decent counter weight. I use an Atlas Sound MS20E Heavy Duty Microphone Stand or the On Stage SMS7650 Hex-Base Studio Boom Microphone Stand.
Question:	Do you need a mixamp/preamp/mixer/audio interface to use this microphone on a PC or is it optional
Answer:	The question is specifically asking about using this mic with a PC, and although it's a 6 year old question, it still needs to be flooded with correct answers to hide the bad one inexplicably found at the top, even though its Yes:No helpfulness ratio is atrocious and is neither the newest nor the oldest answer. This absolutely needs an interface to be used with a PC. A lot of these answers are going on about the preamp, but regardless of how you get power to this thing--whether it be preamps onboard your interface or whatnot--you will absolutely need some sort of interface to, well, interface with your computer. Whether it be USB, Firewire, Thunderbolt, or PCIe, you will 1000% need a way to get the signal into your PC. That aside, you will definitely want good way to drive it given its output level.
Question:	Is this the mic Marc Maron uses on the show for podcasting
Answer:	Per Marc Maron on a mic website "In the garage I use two Shure SM7s into a Samson MDR6 mixer into Garage Band on my mac. On the road I use a Zoom H4n and two Blue Encore 100 mics." However, the SM7B is a great broadcast mic. I use it for studio vocals. Hope this helps.
Question:	How does the shure sm7b compare to the blue yeti pro
Answer:	I use the Shure SM7b for all of my voiceover and singing recording. The Blue Yeti Pro doesn't even place when compared in all honestly. The Blue Yeti Pro has a WAY higher noise floor, and sounds muddy and slightly muffled when comparing the two back to back. And I see a lot of people saying, "A cloudlifter won't help," and I can say from first-hand experience, that this isn't true. Personally I recommend picking up a Fethead, or an sE Electronics DM1, however, all three do the same thing, but some cost more than others, (I'm using the DM1, and I've been very happy with my purchase.) Originally I was using a Focusrite Scarlet Solo, 2nd Gen, and my audio was clean. Any mic activators helps bring this mic up to great levels without getting any pre-amp noise. I've since upgraded to an Audient ID4, and my audio is super clean. I don't get any noise from the mic, pre-amp, or the interface. That being said, the SM7b is more expensive, but even despite this, I definitely recommend the SM7b over Blue Yeti Pro any day.

Product description

A standard on stages throughout the world for years, the Shure SM58 Dynamic Vocal Microphone offers a carefully tailored frequency rise at about 4,000 Hz for smooth as silk vocals that stand out in the mix. Long associated with its unmistakable sound and unsurpassed reliability, the Shure SM58 Dynamic Vocal Microphone is widely considered the most popular mic in the world. Designed for professional vocal use in sound reinforcement and studio recording, the Shure SM58 Dynamic Vocal Microphone utilizes a highly effective, built-in, spherical filter that minimizes wind and breath pop noise while the cardioid pickup pattern isolates the main sound source and minimizes unwanted background noise. The tailored vocal response on the SM58 is a legendary tone that has become a world standard. Shure SM58 Dynamic Vocal Microphone Features: Smooth, mid-frequency presence rise for world-famous SM58 Mic sound, Uniform cardioid pickup pattern isolates the main sound source, Minimizes background noise, Pneumatic shock-mount system cuts down handling noise, Rugged construction for extreme reliability in demanding applications, Effective, built-in spherical wind and pop filter, 50 to 15,000 Hz frequency response, Supplied with break-resistant stand adapter which rotates 180 degrees, Legendary Shure quality, ruggedness, and reliability, Includes a mic stand adapter and a zippered storage pouch, Proximity Effect: When the sound source is less than 1/4 inch from the microphone, the microphone boosts bass frequencies (by 6 to 10 dB at 100 Hz), creating a warmer and richer bass sound than when farther away. This effect, known as proximity effect, happens only in unidirectional dynamic microphones like the Shure SM58 Vocal Mic. The low-frequency roll-off on the SM58 provides greater control, allowing the user to take full advantage of proximity effect.

User questions & answers

Question:	I apologize for my ignorance. Need for my church. Does this run on battery alone or does it have to be hooked up to something to work
Answer:	I have the AT2020USB+ version of this mic, it's USB and it has a blue light.I am buying this XLR version to run through my USB interface like my guitar does, so the sound is only coming from one device.
Question:	How long is the cable that I can get with this mic
Answer:	Hi,Yes, it has the three-prong XLR connector. I
Question:	What amplifier or mixer [ $20- $50 ] should i buy which is compatible with sm58 ? need suggestion
Answer:	If you use a conversion box, yes. This specific model uses an XLR interface because it requires phantom power (three prong, cylindrical shape). You can spend about $100 on a usb conversion box and use this model. I Use an AKAI professional ($250+) which can handle up to 4 mics and 4 outputs ALONG WITH the usb cable. All that said, you can bypass the whole thing and buy an "AT2020 USB". It hooks directly up to the laptop and there's no other equipment to buy. Warning: If you use an AT2020 USB, it will eat up your battery life, you NEED to have your machine plugged in to use it for a long duration. Reason is: the mic takes about 40 volts of power and audio recording and engineering is a processor intensive task (more CPU work = more power being consumed), it also takes a lot of memory so your HDD will be running non stop.If you're using this for fun, get the USB and save the money. If you're looking to get into more serious work, use the XLR as it's compatible with more high end equipment.
Question:	Feel free to laugh a bit and excuse my ignorance. I am starting voice lessons does this microphone only work with a computer? Or can I hook it up to something different? Ok no more laughing. Thank You
Answer:	No, it does NOT come with an XLR cable or a stand.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this microphone wireless
Answer:	This one is not wireless You need to purchase a mic cable too It is not included They make a wireless version but this is not it
Question:	Can anyone give a realistic assessment of how much better it is at resisting feedback than other mics? If not, any recommendations for one that does
Answer:	I haven't found it to be any better or worse at resisting feedback. The SM58 Beta is better than the SM58 in a few areas, but I haven't noticed it being better in this specific regard.
Question:	Does this mic need phantom power of 48V
Answer:	Hello, This microphone does not require phantom power, as it is dynamic.Phantom power is required for condenser microphones, such as Shure Beta 87A.
Question:	Is this a real Beta 58 or is it the ripoff from China
Answer:	Good question. I can only tell you that the one I received is real. The mesh grill on the AUTHENTIC SHURE mic almost looks "spider web" like. The links are intertwined - the FAKE SHURE has a regular metal screen. The AUTHENTIC SHURE mic has a DEEP BLUE colored ring (not DARK BLUE!) around the grill. The FAKE one has like a "SKY BLUE" Also, at the BOTTOM of the mic, where the XLR pins are, the REAL SHURE mic will have the pins numbered "1, 2 and 3" and ALSO have the SHURE LOGO embossed on the base by the pins. The FAKE MICS will NOT. Hope this info HELPS.

Question:	What is the maximum mirco SD card capacity
Answer:	Depends on which one you buy...32gs is the best anything bigger for some reason the files don't transfer properly.
Question:	Does it come with flash card? Or 3.5mm wire
Answer:	No flash inclused but 3.5mm wire is.
Question:	does this need to be plugged into a camera to record sound? or can it record o it's own
Answer:	The version with integrated flash memory can record sound on its own.
Question:	Is it a stereo mic like the Rode Stereo Pro and would it be good for live music quality
Answer:	It is not a stereo mic, it is a shotgun mic. But even though it doesn't have the surround sound as the rode stereo pro, it's audio quality is just as good, if not better for live music applications, as you can point it directly at the musician and block out ambient noises. Where-as the stereo would pick up the people around and behind you almost as good as the musician. So for live music, I would definitely us a shotgun over a stereo mic unless you are standing I.

Question:	I don´t see any information if the cable is included with this mic
Answer:	As with any microphone of quality, cords, and stands are not included. I use mine with a boom stand and the head tilts back perfectly. The best mic for live vocals I have ever used!
Question:	This Shure Super 55 Deluxe Vocal Mic is ~$60 more than the Shure 55SH Series II Iconic Unidyne Vocal Mic. Anyone own both? What makes it worth more
Answer:	My friend has the 55SH series 2 and I have 55 deluxe. After trying his I enjoyed it so much that I wanted to buy one of my own. I went with the 55 deluxe because since it has a beta 58 capsule as opposed to an old SM48 capsule it gives you higher gain before feedback. the frequency response is also more desirable having 60 Hertz to 17,000 vs. 50 Hertz to 15,000. So it's brighter and attenuates more of the low end that you really don't want to have on a vocal anyway. However both of the microphones do have different sounds and if you're after more of a lo-fi I sound the 55SH would be a better option but if you want a really awesome sounding one that is more up do date with todays technology get the 55 deluxe.

User questions & answers

Question:	If i get the xlr to usb for my computer, do i need anything else to record and mix? cables? software
Answer:	Hi, you have to connect this unit to your receiver using 1/4" or XLR cable. Thank you.
Question:	can it be attached to a video camera with a cable
Answer:	The main thing is that his mic is high impedance like a guitar and should be used with instrument inputs with the included cable with th 1/4 phone plug. If you use a typical cable with x!r on both ends into a microphone input which is low impedance, you get a low hum/buzz depending on your digital interface or preamp. Will also work with a guitar amp unlike low impedance mic.
Question:	What is the difference in this SM57-LC and the SM57? I can't seem to find what the LC is about
Answer:	It is packaged with a XLR to 1/4 " cable. Most sound systems will need an XLR male to XLR female commonly referred to as an "XLR cable". The supplied cable can be used with USB/FireWire/Thunderbolt interfaces that have 1/4" inputs or a combo connector. So, yes if you are plugging it into an interface.
Question:	How is it with recording vocals
Answer:	It should work fine for her. It also comes with 15 ft. XLR-F to 1/4" male microphone cable. So you would need to hook into a 1/4" input for microphone.

User questions & answers

Question:	I need a cable connector to connect this microphone to the machine. What do I need to buy
Answer:	What do you mean by machine?You can order this mike with a XLR to XLR cable or a XLR to QTR cable.The diference between the XLR and the QTR terminal is the connector.The XLR is a 3 prom jack and the QTR is a 1/4" jack, similar to the 1/8" or 3.5mm jack you use in you cel phone or most of the stereos.If you have a regular 3.5mm input in your stereo, mixer or amplifyer yiu need to buy this mike with a XLR to QTR cable and a Reduction Jack from 1/4" Female to 1/8" Male.All the mikes terminal are XLR Female,, so the difference is at the other end of the cable, You either use a XLR terminal/jack or a 1/4" jack.

User questions & answers

Question:	Whats everyone else running on their recording setups with these mics
Answer:	Hello, These mics do not require Phantom power to work.
Question:	Do you need to buy mic holders for snare and bass drum
Answer:	Yes, mic cables, one for each. Also, you might need a small mic stand for the kick drum mic, to place it just right in front of the bass drum. Of course, I assume you know that you need a PA system(mixer etc) so you can hear them.CYBERSTATION
Question:	Can i utilize all microphones (7) with the focusrite 18i8 usb interface
Answer:	Hi Patricia! This is US dollars...CYBERSTATION
Question:	Duties microphones require phantom power
Answer:	No cables. On another note the Cad's have a nice sound, but the clamps are terrible. I had to duct tape the clamps to the rims and drums. I used them once then purchased the Shure set with three sm57's and the bass mic. Cost around 350-400 depending where you purchase but the clamps that come in the Shure set are heavy duty and sturdy. Worth the extra dollars!
