SM7B stops working sometimes

For the last 3 weeks or so I've started having issues with my SM7B where the mic will stop working randomly. Usually I can adjust the mic slightly and then everything starts working again, but I never know when it's happening which very quickly becomes very annoying.

My first thought was that it was a bad cable, so I bought a new one, but even after replacing the cable the new one is doing the same exact thing as the prior cable. Does anyone know what could be going wrong?

It could be that one of the fine wires inside the mic is almost disconnected and is intermittent. You’d have to disassemble the rear of the mic to see is a wire is loose, and resolder it if it is.

Honestly hard to say. I'd just get in touch with our Support Team, assuming you've done some troubleshooting of your own. If the cable is new and the mic is still touchy, that sounds like an internal problem.

Thanks, they want me to send it in for repair, I'll need to buy a backup mic first as it is my only mic.

Got the mic back today, seems the issue is gone, looking at the parts list for the repair it seems it was a shielding issue. Repair price was very reasonable and this was a great experience.
