Question 1

How does the shure sm7b compare to the blue yeti pro?

Accepted Answer

I have the yeti pro, silver yeti the Shure SM7B, and the AKG 420. The best by far is the SM7B! The Yeti's are toys compared to the sound depth of the SM7B. Don't even consider the Yeti's at all if you can remotely afford the SM7B. The AKG 420 is middle of the road between the yeti and SM7B, it's good at least compared to the Yeti.

Question 2

Do you need a mixamp/preamp/mixer/audio interface to use this microphone on a PC or is it optional?

Accepted Answer

The question is specifically asking about using this mic with a PC, and although it's a 6 year old question, it still needs to be flooded with correct answers to hide the bad one inexplicably found at the top, even though its Yes:No helpfulness ratio is atrocious and is neither the newest nor the oldest answer. This absolutely needs an interface to be used with a PC. A lot of these answers are going on about the preamp, but regardless of how you get power to this thing--whether it be preamps onboard your interface or whatnot--you will absolutely need some sort of interface to, well, interface with your computer. Whether it be USB, Firewire, Thunderbolt, or PCIe, you will 1000% need a way to get the signal into your PC. That aside, you will definitely want good way to drive it given its output level.

Question 3

Does it come with a mic stand or shock mount to hold it or do I need to buy my own? Also If I need my own what do you suggest?

Accepted Answer

This microphone has it's own mount, that provides slight separation from any vibration noise. There is no elastic suspension "shock mount" available for this unit - but is a very rugged mic that can take a beating.  Any decent stand will do... but because the SM7B is fairly heavy, I'd advise if your going to hang it off a boom stand, I'd find a sturdy one with a decent counter weight.  I use an Atlas Sound MS20E Heavy Duty Microphone Stand or the On Stage SMS7650 Hex-Base Studio Boom Microphone Stand.
