At2035 Vs Shure Sm7b Noise Floor
Got to buy new mics grin.
At2035 vs shure sm7b noise floor. Electro voice re20 re320. When you max out a preamp it gets noisy when you then add more gain digitally you increase the level of that noise and the noise floor. The sm7b requires a minimum of 60 db of gain to reach nominal level. Believe it or not every stat slightly favors at2035 including the noise.
In hindsight i probably would ve gone for a grace sm7b combo. Some dynamic mics like the shure sm7b contain an internal hum bucking coil that reduces hum pick up. Nothing can be added to these mics to control this. Shure sm57 vs sm58 vs sm7b comparison versus series duration.
The shure sm7b dynamic microphone in this corner is the legendary audio technica at2020. It is a medium diaphragm condenser microphone and therefore requires phantom power. It does lack a bit in the air frequencies and it does pick up more ambient noise but i think that s a small price to pay for a more natural sounding mic that can be used in more applications than just. With all that being said the winner of this versus series is the shure sm7b this mic was declared the winner due to the fact it is a more versatile microphone and it sounded more natural.
In this corner is the legendary audio technica at2020. Audio technica at2035 can be compared to akg c214 which is actually studio grade true condenser. The rnp is a great pre but the noise floor is a bit high when you crank it. Since the sm7b requires a lot more gain than the 2035 i began to notice the room a bit with the sm7b.
This is one of the most popular microphones used for youtube videos. Of course these details fall by the wayside if the song shines or sucks. But i really liked the at 2035 during our short time together. This is one of the most popu.
All of these mics are solid microphones each with their own character. Don t limit yourself to just the sm7b just because a lot of people have it doesn t mean it is necessarily the best mic for your voice. It had a lot more vocal detail i don t know what else to call it than the shure but of course it cost a lot. Don t buy an at2035 until you watch this video.
Sign in to disable this ad my shure pg 58 and at 2035 are gone sob. Any type of dynamic mic like the shure sm57 or sm58 contains a voice coil that is very susceptible to picking up the hum field. I have very little experience. The list goes on.
The scarlett solo can only provide 50 db less if it is gen 1 which is why people commonly pair the sm7b with either. Both have very similar spl 158 vs 156 db with pad signal to noise ratio 82 vs 81 db sensitivity 22 4 vs 20 mv pa and equivalent noise level 12 vs 13 db a.
