Frequently Asked Questions

The SM7B has a more pronounced, warmer low-end, whereas the Ethos Black is more neutral and transparent, prioritizing detail over coloration.
While the windscreen does a good job, for windy outdoor environments, a dedicated pop/windscreen is recommended to further reduce noise.
Supercardioid patterns are more sensitive to movement; expect a steeper drop-off in level if you move off-axis, requiring more careful mic placement and technique.
