The V7 seems to have better overall clarity but the SM58 has more warmth and lower end. Both are great! I think more people should be looking into handheld dynamic mics for spoken word because alot of the lower end "podcast mics" seem to value aestheics over sound.
The plosives were a bit stronger on the SE V7 but you can deal with that pretty easy. The SM 58 is a tad warmer but for most people if you didn’t do a A/B on them I think they could be happy with either.
I think the SE-V7 sounds more even. Warm and natural.There is sort of a more naked clarity to the Sure SM 58. Plus it looks like an ice cream cone. The SE-V7 just looks cool, and glows red. Podcastage mentioned in passing (during a different review) that the Se-V7 was one of his favorites. And he NEVER openly favors any mic, as far as i've seen.
The v7 doesn't have any less bass response or range. In fact it has better high and low range. Use both foam pop filters at the same time to tame plosives with the v7. It's a better mic.
I feel like I watched a LOT of mic review videos before settling on the SM58 & Zoom Podtrak P4. However, I don’t remember hearing anything about this SE V7. It sounds really good! Don’t get me wrong, I’ve fallen in love with the SM58 pretty quickly. But I’m wondering if I would have gone with the SE V7 if I had heard this video review first. That said, I also use the SM58 for business calls via Google Voice. If a conversation begins to go sideways, a little bit of proximity effect from the SM58 seems to calm things down
Thanks for the kind words! SM58 truly is a solid microphone, so don’t doubt your choice there! I also found that it requires quite a bit more amp both pre- and post-, where as the V7 picks up a tad better, which simplified my workflow, especially on the podcasting side. Again, if you’re happy with the SM58, no reason to switch! Really glad you enjoyed the video.
God thank you for this video. I like geeking out over audio, but just hearing a basic comparison with a few opinions is awesome. The reality is that if you spend at least $100 you're probably getting a good microphone. You don't need to go a lot higher unless you want to record studio vocals.
No problem at all! So glad it's helped you. Yes, I completely agree with you. The $100 price point is PLENTY in getting great sounding audio! You can't go wrong with either of these mics (and honestly other mics that are even cheaper).
SE V7- Better pick up than SM 58 More Crisp Tone and less Bass. SM58 - Comparingly it's Little less pick up but good Bass for vocals. . The more close you come the bass is felt.. It's a strudy mic..
60s of talking nothing of value -> "we are going straight to the point" -> "either are fine" To my ears the sm58 boosts the "hum" part of voice, it kind of sounds a little irritating compared to the V7. V7 is pretty natural and pleasant overall.
I think it'd be silly for anyone to degrade either mic - Both ARE great, it's more up to preference, which is why I hope people watch as many videos as they would like so they can hear which one sounds better to them. Great observations on the hum part of sm58!
They’re InnoGear stands. 10 inch - 15 inch height. (About 25-40cm) Gets the job done for sure! Our clients are more than pleased with their height and placement.
Not a bad idea at all. I decided to have the SM58 as the "control," since during my research I kept seeing that as the one microphone everyone talked about. So it made sense that a lot of people know that one specifically as context. But I might have to look into doing a comparison of those two next! Thanks!
Great question! Since it is a condenser mic, it will pick up a good bit of noise if you have lots of loud noise around you (like vents, people etc.) If you're able to edit pretty well in post, it's not a huge issue (i record a podcast in an office building and it sounds great after I do some noise reduction), but in general, for loud ambiance, dynamic mics are preferred since they do a better job of shutting out background noise.
@@danthecanman574 I have another question, is presonus studio 24c good for se v7 mic ? You know the v7 doesn't need to phantom power but the presonus studio 24c has phantom power and does it make problem? This is my first experience buying a microphone and sound card, thank you for your help
@@manirad6118 Since the se v7 doesn't need any phantom power or pre-amps or anything, I don't think the recorder matters that much tbh. I record into a Zoom H6 for example, so don't over think it :)
I personally run SE V7s more often, just because I like supercardioids more.
SOLID choice Jonathan. I literally don't use anything else myself!

I completely agree with you; people seem to put a little too much stock into the visuals when they rely on audio only. Thanks for the comment!

Honestly you had a better analysis in a short paragraph than my video. AN ICE CREAM CONE?! You're so right. Now I can't unsee it, thanks.

2:05 that was the best comparison test for high frequencies

I’m sorry what
Proximity effect to calm your audience, will try that with my students👍😀
@@benko7ab oh my god, I would kill to have my teacher having anything other than their laptop’s built-in microphone! 😂 you, sir, are a great teacher!

@@danthecanman574 There can be cheaper ones that are solid too yeah! I think these are a good middle ground.
i realize I'm kinda off topic but do anybody know of a good website to stream new movies online?

What is the height of the desktop microphone stands?
They’re InnoGear stands. 10 inch - 15 inch height. (About 25-40cm) Gets the job done for sure! Our clients are more than pleased with their height and placement.
I think a better comparison wouldve been the sE V7 vs. the shure BETA58a as they are a bit more similar rather than the sm58

So it made sense that a lot of people know that one specifically as context. But I might have to look into doing a comparison of those two next! Thanks!
Which one is best for noisy area if we dont have proper studio sound proofing ??'
SM58 for that scenario, since dynamic is better than condenser at rejecting noise!
Both would work in that predicament. They're both dynamic microphones. The SE V7 is not a condenser mic.
@@danthecanman574 The SE V7 is not a condenser.
The best of ( SE V7 ELETRONICS ) yes BRASIL .
I have never heard of the Sev7 until this video
Yeah it’s a shame a lot of people don’t even hear about it! It’s a great mic.
Podcastage
They both sound good
Can't deny that
Is v7 good for who record vocal but don't have acoustic room?

going to sell my shure sm58 and get a v7
WAOW
Can you do live rap performance with these
I really don’t think you want me to do that. For the sake of all humanity.
@@danthecanman574 😂😂 do it!!
Hmmm.......I thought the Shure sounded crisper and clearer.
Interesting. It can sound different to different ears I guess!
Se V7 is better
