FetHead : It turns my SM7B into a Beast

5 years ago

Title pretty much sums it up.

The gain boost makes a night & day difference on my Shure SM7B.

Comparing it with the same mic but without the FetHead, I'd have to keep my microphone gain on my Scarlett 2i2 on max. volume just to get the same amount of gain that I'd get at around 35-40% with the FetHead on the same interface.

If you have a Shure SM7B and you're looking for that extra gain, I can't recommend the FetHead enough. It's a must have.

Although keep in mind that you can't plug it into the interface, you have to plug it into the microphone directly, otherwise you'll have a lot of noise. Not sure if it's a FetHead thing or a Scarlett thing.

Also, not sure if worth mentioning but since the SM7B is a dynamic microphone, you'll have to turn on Phantom Power on your interface after putting on the FetHead.
