Both of these dynamic microphones require A LOT of gain, a minimum of 60 db. So, for the SM7B we will use the Cloudlifter mic pre-amp, and for the Stealth we will use it’s integrated mic pre-amp.
In this battle I will read “Annabel Lee” by Edgar Allan Poe, and seamlessly switch between the microphones.
Which of these microphones will survive round 2?
The legend vs. the neoteric! David vs. Goliath! Dynamic vs. Dynamic!
Let’s start…

Once the MIC WAR begins, the microphone or audio track you see on-screen is the microphone you are hearing.
