How does the SM7b behave in different acoustic spaces such as those we can have in our home when recording acoustic guitars? Does the environment affect you a lot? Does the foam or windscreen change the sound? Is the Triton Audio FetHead or Cloudlifter necessary? Does it affect the tone? Let's check it out!

Preamp for ribbon and dynamic microphones

FetHead is an ultra-low noise, high quality, in-line microphone preamplifier. It provides improved sound for ribbon and dynamic microphones. Small, compact, but, powerful, Fethead utilizes tried and true FET technology to deliver up to 27dB of clean boost. No more cranking your mic preamp and adding unwanted noise to get your microphone to an acceptable volume. Boost your microphone!

Your Fethead will latch straight onto any XLR equipped microphone, or anywhere else in the signal path between microphone and preamp/mixer. The electronics are housed in a robust metal chassis with a balanced female XLR input and a balanced male XLR output, rugged enough for use at home, in the studio or on tour.

Which microphones benefit

We noticed an improvement on all tested microphones. A Shure SM57 for instance, sounds more responsive over a broader frequency range. When mated with a high-end dynamic microphone like a Sennheiser MD441, or Shure SM7 our FetHead really shines.

Ribbon microphones benefit greatly too because of a much better impedance match. Fethead reduces the load on the microphone, giving it better transient response characteristics. FetHeads low noise signal amplification also extends the usable range of a ribbon microphone, making it more suitable to capture softer sound sources.

Protects the microphone

Some older ribbon microphones do not tolerate phantom power. Fethead uses phantom power to power its circuitry, but doesn’t pass phantom power to the microphone, so rest assured your ribbon mics are safe.

A lot of people use External Preamps to boost the Gain and Input of the signal.

----------

The Shure SM7 is an American professional cardioid dynamic microphone, commonly used in broadcasting applications since 1973. Designed by Shure, it has been described as an "iconic" industry standard microphone for its focused, directional sound and its widespread adoption in radio, television and recording studios. In 2007–2008, the SM7B model became popular for professional podcasting.

-----------------

Shure designed the Unidyne microphone element in 1939, then greatly improved it in 1959, based on research and development by Shure engineer Ernie Seeler. The smaller Unidyne III appeared six years later, designed by Seeler to be the transducer inside the SM series of microphones, including the popular SM56, SM57 and SM58, used live on stage and in the recording studio. "SM" stands for "Studio Microphone".

In 1999 the SM7A model appeared with extra shielding against electromagnetic interference (for instance from television CRTs), and in 2001 the SM7B model added a larger windscreen to reduce breathy plosives.

The SM7 is one of three very popular microphones in radio and television stations, used by deejays and voice-over announcers. The other two are the American Electro-Voice RE20 (1968) and the German Sennheiser MD 421 (1960). The Sennheiser and Electro-Voice models are used widely on the concert stage and in recording studios.

The SM7 was largely unknown outside of professional audio circles until it began to be used for podcasting in the mid-2000s. The early podcasters shared equipment ideas, and the SM7B gained a new audience.

En este vídeo voy a explicar cómo lidiar con el ruido de fondo de algunos micrófonos y previos, para así, poder hacer grabaciones limpias y sin ruido.

There are no rules in music, right? So why can’t you go off the beaten path when selecting a microphone, like using a dynamic broadcast mic such as the Shure SM7B to record an acoustic guitar? You can, and should! Join Alberto Martinez del Rio as he breaks the rules and captures a great acoustic recording with an SM7B.
