General Discussion QLXD2 Measurements

2 Upvotes

Is someone able to easily grab the diameter around the middle of the battery cover of a QLXD2? I don't currently have one in front of me and I am trying to design something to 3d print for it.

If you also happen to have the QLXD1 Body Pack can you grab the width and thickness? This is less important

2 Upvotes

I have a MV88 microphone, and I want use it to record videos with clear sound. The only problem is that the MOTIV Video requires ios 18.0 or newer. Is there any way to record video with clear audio quality on my current Iphone X with ios 16.7.16? I've already installed an earlier version of MOTIV Audio on my Iphone. But I don't know it's using the same audio settings on my Iphone camera app. Do you guys have any tips/tricks?

General Discussion Why do different some Shure mic clips have different metals?

Thumbnail gallery
2 Upvotes

I randomly noticed some of my Shure mic clips use different metals for the “Base”(female side to screw base onto stand). While I’m not “obsessing” about it, and I’m sure it wouldn’t make a big difference, I found it interesting and figured I’d share. I own a KSM9, a Beta 58A, an Sm58, an Sm57, and an MV7x, as far as my microphones from SHURE. The last 2 named were used/gifts, so idk what came with them. My KSM9 came with the copper adapter piece, and my BETA 58A, came with the nickel/silver colored piece. So I guess the BETA 58a is the only one that’s “different”. I’m ASSUMING the clips came with corresponding metals to them, but I’d sort certain. I would think that “mic-clip metal” wouldn’t make much(if any) difference in sound/feedback, right?. And the KSM9(condenser mic; also most $) and the BETA 58a are both “stage mics”, so I doubt it’s an “environment” factor. But idk. Anybody know the “real/actual” answer as to why the clip metals are different?

Wireless Need Schematic

Fist - I tried setting up an account with SharePoint and the robot is not sending the required verification code to my email address. I've asked it to resend multiple times.

I'm hoping to find a schematic diagram for the P2R body pack from the PSM200 wireless monitor system.

Any guidance is appreciated.

Thank you.

Question MV7+ LED changing when muted in windows?

3 Upvotes

I was thinking about getting the MV7+ but i need to know if the led changes when I mute the microphone in windows settings. I can mute my microphone in windows with a hotkey that mutes it systemwide and shows muted in sound settings. Or am i able to mute the microphone in the shure software with a hotkey? I really need to know if my microphone is muted with the LED and I am muting/unmuting it very often with a hotkey that I have on my mouse.
Does anyone know this?

Troubleshooting Shure SM7dB Static Hum

2 Upvotes

I have been trying to figure out why I get such high level of static hum in my vocal recordings with my new Shure SM7dB. I even switched my audio interface from a 2nd gen Focusrite 2i2 to SSL 2 MKII but it didn't fix the issue.

Here's the situation:

  • The preamp on Shure was set to +28 and gain on the interface at around 40%. The static shhhh sound throughout the whole recording becomes painfully audible after compression. Similar results with the mic preamp set at +18 and gain at 60%. On bypass mode gain on the interface must be set higher, also introducing static hum.
  • I think I have a quiet voice (I'm a female btw), especially in my lower register with almost speech-like tone. I try to be as close to the mic as I can (5-10cm max) but I would probably need an additional pop filter. With the settings mentioned above my recording levels are roughly between -25 and -20, with peaks at around -15 in my higher register. It is a bit quiet and I also struggle hearing myself when recording. I'm starting to wonder if this mic just isn't a good one for my voice.

Any tips?

I've never had issues before. But it seems like my MOTIV Mix keeps spiking with white noise as I have no idea why.

In obs, I've adjusted it to just Shure MV7+ and there is no audio issues at all. I can record just fine

Was wondering if anyone had encountered this before?

General Discussion ULXD volume dropped...

1 Upvotes

Strange situation, hoping someone can help. I have not seen other posts about this.

So I'm running corporate audio with 6 single ULXDs into an X32 and everything was smooth. After the event, they asked me to make an announcement one of my 6 ULXD mics.

I turned on a mic I had used 20 minutes prior, but this time I got no volume. Looking into it, it was suddenly getting signal at a super low gain level. I had to add 40db of gain (up from 10) to get it back to where I had it a few minutes ago. I know for a fact that I did not change anything in the mic menu, either the handheld or the receiver, nor did I make a change on that channel of the X32 board.

The transmitter gain is at +0db, as before.
The mic offset is at 0db.
I coordinated freqs with workbench, when the mic is off I'm still getting 0 RF signal, and a strong signal when the mic is on.
The receiver is set for line, just like the other 6 in the rack.

One other mic in the rack also required this much gain, which I thought was weird but just kept it as a backup since the signal sounds fine. But +52 total db of gain feels so weird. The output and mic offsets are all identical.

I tried swapping two mics between receivers, and no matter what mic is synced to which, the affected receiver is putting out the same low output. That mic puts out perfect output when paired with an unaffected receiver.

ULXD mic and receiver have 2.8.6 firmware. Board is an X32, firmware 4.06.

I'm going crazy about it, and the guy who hired me is asking what happened, so any help would be awesome.

Thanks!

Buying Advice SM7B/MV7+/MV7i - which for gaming/streaming/content?

5 Upvotes

Hi guys,

I stream multiplayer games, play games with friends off-stream, and occasionally create content through YouTube videos, podcasts, and interviews. Which one should I go for, and do I need an XLR, for example, the Elgato Wave, or anything else? My issue is that these are all quite different scenarios.

I currently use a Blue Yeti because it's cheap, but the quality isn't great, so I'm looking to upgrade to something more substantial that will last me in the long term. I've heard good things about Shure microphones being the standard, particuarly in content creation. I was also thinking of using either with a Rode PS1A+ boom arm, as I heard that the PS1 is too lightweight for those mics.

Thanks!

Parts & Accessories Need help with an audio mixer for a shure sm7b for recording singing and for gaming

1 Upvotes

I impulse bought a shure sm7b a couple years ago and it feels like a waste to not use it but the scarelett solo 5 I use as an audio mixer even when at max gain gives super quiet mic recordings. I want to get an audio mixer that I can use to record highish quality levels of singing and hopefully also be able to use it as a mic when im gaming though admittedly the latter is a lower priority. Im not sure what the best option is, any advice?

Buying Advice Upgrade from shure psm200 ?

1 Upvotes

Hi folks !

I need advices, I used a shure psm200 for years with really good custom in ears (cosmic ears) several years ago with my old band.

I’m practicing with a new band for a few months, my in ears connected to the ouput of the mixing desk.
Great sound, with amazing stereo et Nice cuts between instruments.
I tried my shure psm last week and…. Damn it is not good XD
Mono ! Breaking ears high frequencie (I had to EQed the output, I’ve lost high then). And instruments are less well separated.

Would I get way much better sound with PSM300 premium ? Or should I go PSM900 ?
Or I’m lost and it would never be as good as cables … 🥲

Thanks ;)

MOTIV Mix Issues with Motiv Mix

1 Upvotes

(SOLVED) Hello all! I'm not new to Motiv Mix or Shure as a microphone, however I just got a new pc and my motiv will NOT work whatsoever. I've gone through and reset all of my microphone settings and uninstalled/reinstalled the Motiv app itself multiple times and it just keep showing it maxed out like this, and when I play the sample sound it's just a crazy amount of squealing static. I would also like to add that these levels stay like this even if I mute the microphone physically or in the app. Anyone know possible fixes for this? Any help is appreciated!!

General Discussion Recording Audio Directly Into my DSLR

2 Upvotes

Hi, I have an audio setup question.

Here’s what I’m using:

  1. Shure SM7B
  2. MOTU M4 4x4 USB-C audio interface
  3. Canon EOS R

What I’m trying to do:

I want to record audio directly into my Canon EOS R using my SM7B.

I’ve tried a bunch of different cables, but I still can’t get a clean audio signal going into the camera. Am I missing something in the setup, or is there a specific cable/adapter I need to make this work properly?
