HQ Audio Of Review: https://podcastage.com/rev/sm7db Video: https://youtu.be/_DIzq4U2CD0 Today I review new Shure SM7dB. Does this improve the noise floor of your recordings? Is it worth the money? Should you buy it? In this review I compare it to the SM7b as well as a bunch of other microphones so you can hear it. Other than that it sounds like an SM7b just with a hotter output, so if that's something that sounds appealing it may work for you, but keep your expecations on low noise recording in check.

Today I review the AT8035, a 14.5” line + gradient condenser microphone. The microphone works well for voice over and for booming at a few feet. This mic has a bit of a bright tone, but still offers a fairly accurate representation of the sound that you’re putting into it. If you don’t have room for a mic as long as the 8035, the AT875r is a great alternative.
