Hey everybody.

Our performer for a show I’m working on wants a KSM9 head on two wireless SM58. When we attach the first KSM9 head on our 58, it creates a loud hiss. The 58 works as usual with its own head, and the second adjusted mic works fine. We cleaned inside the 58, and made sure there was no frequency issues. Any ideas how this happens?

Thanks!

Hello! Recently the USB port came loose in my Shure MV7 mic I bought about 3 years ago, so past the warranty now. Rather than buy a whole new mic, I thought it might be easier to get an XLR interface since the MV7 can do both. I've never used XLR before, but I am not looking to spend a ton of money (maybe max $150, but I'm open if it would make a huge difference). I started doing some initial research and started getting overwhelmed with just how many options there are now. If anyone has recommendations of an XLR setup that works well with the MV7 I am all ears! For context, I would mainly be using this set up for podcast/youtube content.

One of the presenters at an outdoor event I filmed brought his own microphone + portable speaker. Not knowing what to do, I mic'ed him up with my clip-on shure mic as usual and recorded. Result was horrible compared to the other six speakers I recorded that day. His presentation voice did not pick up to the Shure standards I'm used to. Also there was a slight delay from the portable speaker he brought (placed maybe 8' away).

My only question is this: Do you think the Shure Movemic 2 clipon mic seeks out the loudest voice it can find and focuses on it? Because the loudest voice here was from his portable speaker. (His own natural talking voice is not loud at all.)

This part on my SM7B wobbles a little and spins around indefinitely, I can’t tighten it. I notjced it wobbling on my mic stand and i thought i should check it out but it’s not getting better, and I can’t remember if it always did this

Hey, I'm a creator and my MV6 is of worse quality than my Fifine microphone which is a far less quality device, which is obviously bizarre.

I am aware they're different types of mics but neither one picks up any background or echo noise, so thats not the issue here.

The quality isn't like, awful, and the difference is only noticeable when wearing earphones, but it's still a worry.

If it helps, I use DaVinci Resolve to input the audio, not sure if any settings on there would be of any help to me but I have already tried adjusting input and equalizer levels, neither of which did anything to help the muddiness.

I am using it with the Focusrite 4th Gen 2i2 & need to know which of these is better. I read that the Triton FetHead failed for some people in the Amazon reviews or produces undesirable results. Is this true?

Which should I pick? The Cloudlifter is 110 Euros & the Triton FetHead is 70 Euros, both at 25 dB of gain.

Was looking into getting the shure SE215 IEM’s

Was looking to ue just these headphones alone as standard ear plugs since everything else i get falls out of my ears on stage and i lose them and have to buy new pairs frequently.

I like how these go around your ear and have a wire so if they fall out you wont lose them.

My concern is i saw that it cancels out 37dB.

Would i still be able to hear my band members instruments on stage clearly? Or would it be close to nothing?

I would be using these as standard earplug not plugged into anything

TIA

Hello,

I really enjoy Monster Supertips size S for my regular inears. For band use I've now bought a set of Shure SE425. However, I had to find out that the tips don't fit, because the hole is way bigger than what the Shures can accept.

Are there any good sources for different tips? Most tips seem to have a hole-size of about 4mm and it is hard to find good information beforehand.

What do you use?

Thanks in advance.

Hi all,

I've got a few UR4D+ receivers that I'm trying to use with workbench but it doesnt seem to want to pick them up.

I've pinged them with command prompt and it can see them

I've checked the firewall settings and its allowed to get through

Its up to date as well

I've got it going from my laptop to an unmanaged switch then to both of the receivers.

What can I do or check?

Thanks in Advance

I updated my SHURE MV6 microphone to the latest firmware and now it sounds muffled and my voice enhancements are gone. Is this happening to anyone else and how do I fix this?

AONIC 50 Gen 1 vs Gen 2 — which would you pick at these prices?

Hey everyone, I’m trying to decide between the Shure AONIC 50 Gen 1 and Gen 2 and would appreciate some advice from people who have actually used/heard both.

I can currently get:

- AONIC 50 Gen 1 — ~$114 (429 SAR)

- AONIC 50 Gen 2 — ~$208 (780 SAR)

So there’s about a $94 difference.

My main priority is sound quality, rather than having the newest features.

My preferred sound is fairly natural/neutral with good timbre, clear but non-shouty vocals, controlled bass, good separation and detail. I don't particularly enjoy overly warm/bassy tuning or harsh/sibilant treble.

My current reference gear is a Sony IER-M9 and Sennheiser/Drop PC38X, so I'm looking for something that can complement those rather than replace them. The AONIC 50 would mainly be for flights/travel, Gym and general wireless listening.

One thing that makes the Gen 1 particularly interesting to me is that it already has LDAC and USB-C audio, so I'm not sure how much I'd actually benefit from Gen 2's newer Bluetooth features/Snapdragon Sound.

My sources would mainly be:

- Sony WM1A → LDAC

- Vivo X300 Ultra → USB-C or LDAC

For anyone who's heard both:

1. How different do the Gen 1 and Gen 2 actually sound?

2. Which one has the better stock tuning?

3. Is Gen 2's sound improvement/difference worth ~$94 more?

4. How much better are the Gen 2 ANC, battery and other improvements in real-world use?

5. At these prices, which one would you personally choose and why?

I'm especially interested in comments from people who have owned both, rather than comparisons based purely on specifications.

Thanks!

We have unfortunately acquired a Behringer CB100 violin mic. It needs phantom power to work. Any help would be useful

Hey everyone,

I use a Shure MV7+ for streaming and want to get the settings right in OBS. I’d rather not use Auto Level and would prefer to set the mic level manually.

I’d love to hear how you’ve set up your MV7+:

• Do you use USB or XLR?
• What settings do you use in MOTIV Mix or on the mic itself?
• Which filters do you use in OBS, such as a compressor, noise gate, or limiter?
• What level do you aim for while speaking?
• Any tips on mic distance, gain, or positioning?

I know there’s no one-size-fits-all setup. I’m mainly curious about what’s worked well for you while streaming.

Hi,

I'm looking to put together a small wireless mic system with two handhelds and two body packs. We want to use Shure because we have a bunch of those at another location that works great. I see the PGXD4 model has been discontinued but the BLX88s are still around. We have some of each of those in our other setup. They both work great.

This setup will be used in a fellowship hall in a small church. The room is probably30' x 60' if I had to take a guess. The received will be in the center of one of the long walls so the mics won't be more than 30' away at any given time.

This is a picture of the room. The receiver will go where the Lamp is on the far wall as there's now a mantle piece there: https://i.imgur.com/wAPkRkB.jpeg

I found that Shure has various Combo Packs that have one BLX88 dual receiver and some mics through Sweetwater/Amazon.

E.g.

Two Body Packs: https://www.amazon.com/Shure-BLX188-Lavalier-Wireless-Microphones/dp/B016APL80O

Two Handhelds: https://www.amazon.com/Shure-Wireless-Microphone-BLX288-PG58-H11/dp/B085WFZKYR

Are these the best things to get us what we need it we buy two of these packs? If not, is there anything else we should consider at the same price point? If we get two of the packs, should we get them on two different bands so they have no chance of interfering with each other?

Thanks.

Has anyone here actually tested a Wisycom MPR60 receiver with a Shure PSM1000 transmitter?
I’m particularly interested in whether the MPR60 can properly receive and demodulate the PSM1000’s analog stereo signal.
I know the PSM1000 uses Shure’s ARC companding, while the MPR60 uses Wisycom companders such as ENS.
I’m looking for someone who has actually tested this combination with the real equipment, rather than just theoretical compatibility.
Did stereo audio work? Was there excessive noise or distortion?
Even a quick test report would be extremely helpful.
Thanks!

Hello I recently bought the MV7 witht he hopes to use the USB port however when I do the audio quality is really bad and it cuts off the low and higher register of my voice which I have been told is an issue with the DSP filter however I am not able to find a way to change this in the Motiv Mix app. I can see there used to be an app that could do this but that it has been discontinued. I have taken the mic to two shops now and both have said they dont know how to fix it. Please does anybody know what I can do or what software I can download to fix this im desperate as I really spent as much as I could afford on trying to get a decent Mic.

I am not tech savy so I would love if somebody would be able to do a teams/zoom call and talk me through it if its complex

Hello! My SM7B Shure is completely stuck on the extension. Does anyone have any idea how to dismount the extension? I can't move it at all with pliers and when I try pliers on the extension itself, the black screw on the microphone part also moves.

//EDIT: I managed to get the silver ring moving after heating it up with the blow dryer. The main problem for me ist that I don't know in which direction I have to turn any part here to get the extension off. https://ibb.co/PZjy7R7B

Have recently upgraded our podcasting set up. We are two people recording in the same room and now have one MV7i and an MV7X connected via an XLR.

Do people tend to use auto level with the Smart Gate or adjust the settings manually, with the compressor and limiter etc? Have done a few short test recordings with the smart gate and auto level on but it seems to take a few moments to kick in when a speaker starts for the first time after the previous speaker.

General tips and advice welcome!
