The SM7B does NOT require phantom power and is not affected if phantom power is present on its mixer input. Note that some third-party external pre-amps commonly used with the SM7B DO require phantom power to operate, however. At least 60dB of gain is recommended to get that iconic warm and balanced tone most commonly associated with the SM7B.

    More and more recently I've seen this mic used for many popular podcasts I come across, and for good reason.I've been using this mic for nearly 2 years now, and the quality difference over my USB blue yeti is amazing. I use LightHost and Voicemeeter to boost the quality even further and reduce any bits of background noise.The build quality is solid and you probably won't have any issues with this mic for many, many years. If you're on the fence, it's definitely a solid choice.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A great mic, just be sure to combine it with the right interface
    Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2019
    Much of the choice of a microphone goes through personal taste so what I can say is that the construction is incredible, made to last, definitely. It seems to me that the sound is quite clear and flat, which makes it very versatile for many types of voice, that is what it is made for. The proximity effect is notorious and although with good vocal technique and the wind / antipop screen you can avoid plosives and other noises, the ideal scenario is to use an antipop filter. The noise level it generates is very controlled as well and with an interface with a good amount of gain it can be used with great sound quality. At the beginning I used it with a focusrite scarlet 2i2 3rd gen, the gain should be close to 95% which introduced extra noise, although very usable and clean. I had to return that interface (faulty unit) and acquired a Motu M2 and the microphone now really has more gain room and the noise is even lower, it is definitely a great combination.

    I noticed two things in internet: One of the pins of the mic is larger than the others. In the Rode FAQ website you can see that this is normal. Is the ground pin and is made in that way to guarantee that this pin connects first and protect the mic.

    Some people show the pins being pulled of after removing the XLR connector. To avoid that, before connect the cable, just be sure that the bolt in the little hole near of the connector is tight enough.

    Reviewed in Spain on March 31, 2023
    El rode procaster es un micrófono de tipo dinámico, es decir es un micrófono que nos ayudará a captar menos ruido de fondo y conseguir una mejor sonoridad en general que los micrófonos de condensador cuando lo utilizamos en una casa particular o una habitación no perfectamente acondicionada como podría ser un estudio de grabación, ya que eliminaremos ruidos de fondo, sonidos de vacío y ese tipo de cosas... y es por ello que este tipo de micrófonos son los que más se ven en grabaciones de podcast, en streaming o para voces en off de videos, etc. Eso sí estos micrófonos dinámicos respecto a los de condensador perderán algunos matices en los sonidos y nos dará una sonoridad más "radiofonica" te aconsejo valorar bien antes de adquirir uno u otro y mirate alguna review de cada tipo o alguna en la que comparen los dos tipos, para no gastar tu dinero sin tenerlo claro.

    Pues una vez aclarado esto y si ya tienes claro que lo que buscas es un micrófono del tipo dinámico te habrás fijado que muchos creadores de contenido utilizan el shure sm7b y bien desde mi punto de vista y lo puedes comprobar viendo comparaciones y demás...esto es básicamente por una cuestión de moda y estética, al igual que que por ejemplo se usan sillas de la marca secret lab en lugar de una Steelcase... no se busca la mejor ergonomía o durabilidad, se busca estética o seguir una tendencia, pues en el caso de los micrófonos desde mi punto de vista esta pasando lo mismo este rode procaster le hace frente perfectamente al shure y todo ello por la mitad de precio, por lo que si la estética para ti no es lo mas importante para el uso que le pretendas dar es una opción igual de válida y por la mitad de coste.

    La calidad de construcción me ha parecido muy buena, ten en cuenta que es un micro bastante pesado sobre unos 700g por lo que tendrás que tener un brazo o soporte que pueda con él (trae un soporte adaptador para la tuerca de sistema "rode") y que el filtro anti pop que trae incluido internamente puede quedarse algo corto en algunos casos ya que este tipo de micrófonos se suele utilizar a una distancia muy corta, el fabricante indica en este modelo que se debe utilizar a 5cm, por lo que si no te importa modificar su estética, valora adquirir uno ya sea el que vende rode (WS2) de espuma o similar o de los circulares que se ponen mediante un brazo flexible.

    Otra cosa muy importante de este tipo de micrófonos es que necesitan mucha ganancia, algo que en postproducción se puede conseguir, pero que si por ejemplo lo vas a usar para directos o prefieres tener directamente una ganancia adecuada seguramente te hará falta un amplificador o mic booster, como puede ser el famoso Cloudlifter que tiene un coste aproximado de unos 150€ u optar por opciones más económicas como el Klark Teknik o TritonAudio que cuestan 3 veces menos y que gracias a ellos dándoles alimentación Phantom conseguirás esos dB extra que necesitas.

    Otra cosa que me gusto del rode es que si nos registramos en su web y validamos nuestra compra tendremos una garantía ampliada de 10 años, algo que considero que esta muy bien, en un producto de un valor elevado como este tener más años de tranquilidad en ese sentido siempre se agradece.

    ✅ lo que mas me gusto :

    ▪ Calidad general

    ❌ Lo que menos me gusto :

    ▪ Peso elevado

    Sin duda este procaster es una gran opción de micrófono dinámicos, en mi caso estoy muy contento con los resultado obtenidos y lo recomiendo sin duda.
